Comment: Writings of St. Augustine can lead us to City of God /opinion/guest-columnists/item/26094-comment-writings-of-st-augustine-can-lead-us-to-city-of-god /opinion/guest-columnists/item/26094-comment-writings-of-st-augustine-can-lead-us-to-city-of-god

One of the sweetest attractions of off-the-grid summertime breaks is the opportunity to push out the parameters of your usual reading routines. This summer I decided it was time to finally immerse myself in the writings of St. Augustine (354-430 AD) and read the two works for which he is best known, Confessions and The City of God.

Five people who helped me understand myself /faith/columnists/item/18973-five-people-who-helped-me-understand-myself /faith/columnists/item/18973-five-people-who-helped-me-understand-myself

Although I grew up in a loving, safe and nurturing family and community, one of the dominant memories of my childhood and teenage years is that of being restless and somehow discontent. My life always seemed too small, too confined, a life away from what was important in the world. I was forever longing to be more connected to life and I feared that other people didn’t feel that way and that I was somehow singular and unhealthy in my restlessness.
