A slight delay, with apologies... but for a good reason! I was ordained to the permanent diaconate on Saturday 11/20/21. It was a profoundly humbling weekend, and the semester is nearing its close, too.

I'm beginning to consider another reading podcast. I want the next one, perhaps, to be a public domain source. I am thinking of The Mansions by St. Teresa of Avila. I'd be grateful for input, of course. What do you want to listen to in Catholic tradition?

We end Book 5 in this episode. St. Augustine moves to Milan and enters the order of the catechumens.

Read along, listen, seek wisdom in the recounting of a life, as St. Augustine explores his walk with the Lord.

Our journey through Augustine's text continues. We end Book 4 in this episode, at the point of Augustine's 27th year.

We continue our reading in The Confessions

No music in this one, and there's the voice echo (apologies). Music returns next episode (probably a nice piece from Beethoven) and the recorder will be fine tuned.

We continue our journey through Augustine's Confessions. This episode completes Book 3. 

We continue The Confessions, by St. Augustine. In this episode we begin Book 3.

This episode brings us up to the beginning of Book Three in The Confessions.

***

Note that Episode 6 will pick up Book Three. 

We continue reading The Confessions, by St. Augustine. Our progress will sharply speed up soon. I hope you are enjoying this amazing monument of Western literature!

We continue reading of St. Augustine's Confessions, the 2nd edition translation by F.J. Sheed, with permission of Hackett Publishing.
