S2 Ep 78 | 1 John 4-12 | St. Augustine’s Powerful Commentary on Love & Seeing God


Listen Later

📖 "No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us." – 1 John 4:12

In this episode of Catholic Girl on the Radio, Rita dives deep into St. Augustine’s profound commentary on what it truly means to see God and the transformative power of love. Augustine challenges us to move beyond physical perceptions of God and instead purify our hearts to encounter Him spiritually.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • Why God cannot be seen with physical eyes—but only with the heart.

  • How love has no physical form, yet it acts through us (feet, hands, eyes, and ears of the soul).

  • The difference between worldly love (pride-driven) and true charity (God-centered).

  • Why loving our enemies is essential—and how they unknowingly aid in our sanctification.

  • St. Augustine’s radical view: "Your enemy serves God’s purpose in your holiness."

🔥 This teaching will challenge and inspire you to examine the motives behind your actions—are they rooted in love or pride? Discover how to live charity authentically, even in the face of persecution.
