What Does Saint Augustine Say to Us Today?
Gregory Grimes in Focolare Media:
Augustine offers a view of “faith seeking understanding” and the truth of love as a fundamental way of being, seeing, and living in the world, that informs and orders all aspects of life. He also offers a sacramental worldview, characterized by the confident search for God in all things, teaching us to see and know a most supreme Beauty that is ever ancient and ever new, astonishingly intimate to us, and yet truly infinite and mysterious beyond all comprehension.
One way to enter into what Augustine has to say for us today is to gain some sense of traditional charisms of Augustine: veritas, unitas, caritas—or truth, unity, and love.
