"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you" -- St. Augustine I've been reading The Confessions of Saint Augustine this past week. Augustine of Hippo was a major figure of the early Christian church. He was born in AD 354 in North Africa, the son of a farmer, and he rose to become Bishop of Hippo.

“The connection that takes place between a mother and a child is perhaps the clearest picture in our world of what has been called the “human moment.” It creates a little circle of life: A mother ceases to think about herself and focuses on her child; she gives love and warmth and blessing and the child receives life. At the same moment, the act of giving doesn’t empty the mother; she

What are the markers that lead us to a greater understanding of
