5x7in St.Augustine Icon

An original icon of St.Augustine from our August Prayer Card Club! 

One of my favorite reflections from Pope Leo in I Am a Son of St. Augustine:
“Just as Jesus loved with a human heart, so you are called to love with the Heart of Christ! To learn this art, however, you need to work on your interior life... Keep in mind Saint Augustine’s constant invitation to return to the heart, because it is there that we will find God. Sometimes descending to the depths of our heart can be intimidating, since we also have to confront our hurts, our wounds. Yet do not be afraid to face them, also with the help of others, because those wounds will make you sympathetic and compassionate towards others who suffer. Without an interior life, no real spiritual life is possible, because it is in the heart that God speaks to us.”
