Is there a citation as to which writing of St. Augustine's it is from? I'd love to read it. Thanks.
Regarding your tag line, isn't there a statue of V. Capodanno in Manhattan somewhere? I remember reading about it and wanted to go see it, but when I tried to search for it on Google, I didn't get any results in Manhattan.
I am sorry that I don’t have the source for the St. Augustine quote. I’m certain that it is buried in the “minute font” at the end of the Magnificat so I’ll have to look it up. It was very moving and dealt with the coin with Caesar and the image on the soul imprinted by God.
As for Fr. Capodanno, here is the website devoted to his cause for sainthood:

He was made most famous by the recent book “Grunt Padre” which was written by a priest who is also a Chaplain and is stationed in Virginia. Fr. Dan Mode was in Afghanistan for a time with the SFs. IIRC, Fr. Mode comes from a famous military family.
I know that the Knights of Columbus have a Council named after Fr. Capodanno in Quantico, and that he is “good to go” with the Marines who honor him. He was a Maryknoll who served two tours in Vietnam and was killed ministering to a wounded man who was one of those who gave testimony in his cause for Sainthood.
If you want the full lowdown, check out the MOH website and see Capodanno under the listees. His certificate for the MOH is quite astounding. He was wounded multiple times but would not retreat.
