Event Description:

St. Augustine of Hippo has vastly influenced Catholic thinking, and is the most quoted theologian in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He was a man always surrounded by friends, and came to have deep insight into friendship—especially with God. This talk will consider St. Augustine’s insights into the Lord’s initiative of friendship with us, and our response to enjoy the Lord.
