Day 37: Sensing God in Creation (The Confessions of St. Augustine)

We can find God’s footprints in the beauty of creation and the mystery of our own humanity. St. Augustine poetically explores creation, the senses, and the human mind as ways we can encounter God in our initial search for him. Fr. Jacob-Betrand Janczyk and Fr. Gregory Pine remind us that God reveals himself in tangible ways because he wants us to know him.Today's readings are Book 10, Chapters 6-9.

Please note: The Confessions of St. Augustine contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
