Augustine For Today

FEBRUARY 15 – SAINT FAUSTINO

“Look into my heart, O God, the same heart on which you took pity when it was in the depths of the abyss. Let my heart now tell you what prompted me to do wrong for no purpose, and why it was only my own love of mischief that made me do it. The evil in me was foul, but I loved it. I loved my own perdition and my own faults, not the things for which I committed wrong, but the wrong itself.”

Confessions II, 4

In a letter addressed to the Prior General, permission was given by the Congregation of Religious to use the vernacular in the recitation of the Divine Office. The Province Newsletter indicated that houses wishing to do so were to so indicate by a secret vote of the community.
