St. Augustine of Hippo (detail)
by Sandro Botticelli
“The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.” (St. Augustine of Hippo; Commentary on the First Epistle of John)
August 28 is the Memorial of St. Augustine, Bishop, Confessor and Doctor of Grace (A.D. 354 – 430).
