Day 33: The Sacrament of Baptism (The Confessions of St. Augustine)
St. Augustine receives the sacrament of Baptism alongside his son and friend. He turns to the Old Testament for preparation and understanding of his place in salvation history. Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk discuss Church persecution and St. Ambrose’s role in ending the oppression. They reflect on the grace of the sacraments and the simplicity of conversion. Today’s readings are Book 9, Chapters 4-7.
