Reflection

“In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.” ~ Augustine

Prayer

Loving God,

Today, we celebrate the feast of Saint Augustine, a saint who struggled mightily to surrender himself to you. We too struggle to surrender our hearts and lives to you. Fill us this day with the gift of your Holy Spirit that we might open our hearts and minds to your presence and respond with generosity to your call. Inspired by the example of Saint Augustine, may we discover the courage to follow you and to love what you love. We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on what I truly love. What does that say about who I am as a person?
