Day 58: The Hierarchy of Creation (The Confessions of St. Augustine)

As we continue walking through the creation story, St. Augustine draws out the spiritual implications of the days of creation. He describes what it means for us to have dominion over the things of the world. Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk and Fr. Gregory Pine discuss this authority that humans have been given and the responsibility we have in regards to creation. Today’s readings are Book 13, Chapters 23-25.
