Day 22: Chastity and Marriage (The Confessions of St. Augustine)

As we conclude Book 6, St. Monica arranges a marriage for St. Augustine. Still a slave to lust, he thinks this could be the only solution to living a chaste life. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk explain that growth in virtue doesn't mean suffering through temptation but instead the flourishing of human love. Today's readings are Book 6, Chapters 11-16.

Please note: The Confessions of St. Augustine contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
