St. Augustine

August 28 (finding God)

Blessed Redeemer, when Saint Augustine was a young adult, he rejected his upbringing, converted to a false religion and lived immorally. It was a lifestyle he did not want to give up, but he finally realized that nothing truly satisfied him except friendship with You. He said, "Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and are restless until they rest in You." I ask him pray for those who are stubborn in their rejection of You. Help them to get more deeply in touch with their inner restlessness and continually increase in them the awareness that their lives are empty until they turn to You. Saint Augustine, pray for us. Amen.
