Reflections on Childhood, Gratitude, and Sin

As we wrap up Book 1, St. Augustine completes his narration of early boyhood. He discusses his continued downward slope into sin and error. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk share how God is always ready to receive us when we are ready to surrender to his mercy. They explain the importance of forming good habits in ourselves and in our children. Today’s readings are Book 1, Chapters 17-20.
