Confesiones De San Augustin Ensayo

St. Augustine was a committed Christian and a caring pastor. In this Year for Priests is a good example for us all. 1 Conversion of St. Augustine in poetic words of unusual strength, Augustine describes his own conversion to God. It is a beautiful text, concise and endearing. It is a prayer of adoration and admiration. It reads: "Late have I loved you, so ancient and so new, late have I loved! You were within me and I was, and I looked outside, and misshapen as I was throwing about these beautiful things you created.
