Augustine For Today

November 26 – SAINT CORRADO

“God proclaims a Sabbath for us. What kind of Sabbath? Consider first how it is to be observed. Our Sabbath has to be within, a thing of the heart. Many indeed are those who rest their bodies, but their conscience is in a state of turmoil … He, on the contrary, who has a good conscience, is at peace; and this peace is in itself the Sabbath of the heart … It is the joy we have in the serenity of our hope that constitutes our Sabbath.”

Exposition on the Psalms, 91.2
