[Unknowing]

Thank you for posting. I feel a fraternity with St. Augustine for many reasons, and my Mother does share a like kindred with St. Monica.

Is Augustine so different from the man described in Luke 15:11-32? As Tolkien affirmed, though in some other context perhaps, “all who wander are not lost.”

Spirant in me spiritum sanctum, ut omnes cogitationes sanctas. Fac in me O Spiritus Sanctus, hoc opus, etiam ut sint Sancta sanctorum. Eripe me O Spiritus Sanctus, quam sancta, quam amare. Confirma me, O Spiritus Sanctus, et quod omne sanctum defendere. Custodi me, O Spiritus Sanctus, sanctus, quod sit semper. Amen.
