Divine Office | Whether they like it or not, those who are outside the church are our brothers

In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a discourse of St Augustine of Hippo on Psalm 32 (354-430 A.D.). He wrote an enormous amount and left a permanent mark on both philosophy and theology. His Confessions, as dazzling in style as they are deep in content, are a landmark of world literature. The Second Readings in the Office of Readings contain extracts from many of his sermons and commentaries and also from the Confessions. For a reflection, "Whether they like it or not, those who are outside the church are our brothers," please click on the image. Peace be with you!
