St. Augustine, the City of God & the Reality of Evil | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

from Homilies from the National Shrine · host The Marian Fathers

Join Fr. Chris Alar for a powerful teaching On the Feast of St. Augustine, Fr. Chris reflects on the extraordinary life and teachings of this great Doctor of the Church. St. Augustine was a Roman living in North Africa during the decline of the Roman Empire—a turbulent period that inspired some of his most important writings. Discover the significance of St. Augustine’s City of God, his insights into the Church and the struggle between good and evil, and the question: Is evil a real thing? We also reflect on the remarkable moment that helped change Augustine’s life when he heard the words: “Take and read.” St. Augustine, pray for us. #StAugustine #FrChrisAlar #CatholicChurch #CatholicFaith #CatholicTeaching #Prayer #PrayForPriests #Nigeria #CityOfGod #DoctorOfTheChurch ★ Support this podcast ★
