Journeying With The Saints

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back. Today is another short reading from Book Seven, Chapter Fifteen on page 150.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. We have a very short reading today. We are reading from Book Seven, Chapter Fourteen on page 149.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to another day. Thank you for joining me in these, I would say, more difficult passages.

We are reading today from Book Seven, Chapter Thirteen on page 148.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. We have a dense reading today and to help us get our minds in the right place, I want to talk about it before we read it.

With that, let's read from Book Seven, Chapter Twelve on page 148.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Today is a big day! This is the 100th episode for Season Six. Crazy that we are already at 100. So, congratulations for showing up everyday.

We have a very short reading today, so let's get started by opening to page 147 to read from Book Seven, Chapter Eleven

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to our reading today. Today's theme is all about light—specifically God as Light.

We are reading from Book Seven, Chapter 10 on page 146.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today's reading is denser than others and I can see it being a hard one to get through if you don't know beforehand what you are reading. So, instead of my reflection at the end of the reading, I'll give it here to help you understand before we get started.

We will be reading from Book Seven, Chapter Nine on page 144.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. After some longer readings, we get a super short one today. So, let's jump into Book Seven, Chapter Eight on page 144.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. St. Augustine has dropped astrology, but he is still having a problem understanding the origin of evil.

Let's hear about this by reading from Book Seven, Chapter Seven on page 142.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome. If you have your book in front of you, you know that we have a long reading today. And I have found that with these types of books, long readings can make you zone out. With novels, we can read many, many pages, but with theological books, we struggle to keep our focus.

Why is that? Well, because it's not riveting and there are no cliff hangers living you curious as to what happens next.

This is why I do my Seasons in bite-sized chunks. These types of books can't be devoured.

But, the good news is, is that this longer section isn't boring or tedious. At least, I don't think so. St. Augustine is going to explain to us how he came to leave astrology behind.

Let's get started by turning to page 139 and reading from Book Seven, Chapter Six.
