    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Thank you for pushing play today. I may, I may, get on a soap box today. Hopefully, I can keep it cool. But, we will be talking about judgment today.

  11. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Twenty-Two

    Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. What St. Augustine talks about today is something that I take to heart. I once was a Christian who lived according to my own will. I did not have a remaking of my mind.

  13. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Twenty

  15. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Eighteen

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? I think mine is reading out loud. Just kidding.

  19. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Fourteen

  20. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Thirteen

  25. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Eight

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. One of the things that people struggle with is the fact that God gave us free will.

  26. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Seven

    Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back. Today, we are still focused on the Holy Spirit and I want to talk about what the Holy Spirit does and what He does not do. We are reading from Book Thirteen, Chapter Seven on page 315.

  27. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter Six

    Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. We know that the Trinity is Three Persons in One God, but I've heard people say that they think the Holy Spirit gets ignored. I disagree, but we'll talk about it on the other side. We are reading from Book Thirteen, Chapter Six on page 314.

  32. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Thirteen, Chapter One

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to the start of the last book--Book Thirteen! We are nearing the end. We are reading today from Book Thirteen, Chapter One on page 311.

  33. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Thirty-Two

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to the end of Book Twelve. We made it! I know this was probably one of the more hard books to make it through. There was a lot of repetition, a lot of deep theological questioning, and wondering about issues that, quite frankly, maybe don't concern you too much. I get...

  34. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Thirty-One

    Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Only two more readings here in Book Twelve. You will see as we read these last two readings, St. Augustine is winding down his thoughts. But, let's go ahead and open to Book Twelve, Chapter Thirty-One on page 308.

  38. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Twenty-Seven

  40. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Twenty-Five

  43. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Twenty-Two

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. It's another great day to learn and think with St. Augustine. We are going to jump right in by reading from Book Twelve, Chapter Twenty-Two on page 298.

  44. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Twenty-One

    Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome. Today, again, we are getting a nuanced list of explanations for what some purposed was meant by "the earth was invisible and without form and darkness reigned over the deep." So, again, if you don't get all the differences. It's okay. We are reading from Book...

  45. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Twenty

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. You wanna talk nuance, today, we are gonna hear nuance on a level you've never seen before. Honestly, though, don't worry too much about trying to fully get all of what we are going to read. It's not long, but don't worry if you don't pick up on all the nuances. Let's...

  46. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Nineteen

  48. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Seventeen

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, we start the back and forth conversation St. Augustine must have had with people who didn't quite agree with his take on the opening sentences of Genesis. It's pretty nuanced, but let's jump into it as we read from Book Twelve, Chapter Seventeen on page 294.

  49. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Sixteen

    Hello, Catholic Pilgrims, welcome back. Today, we are getting a bit of preface before St. Augustine goes into a back and forth with people who disagree with his take on the beginning sentences of Genesis. We won't see that back and forth today, but he's prepping us in a way. With that, let's read...

  50. St. Augustine's "Confessions:" Book Twelve, Chapter Fifteen

    Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Thank you for pushing play today. We have a longer reading, so settle in and let's begin. We are reading from Book Twelve, Chapter Fifteen on page 290.
