Confessiones
S. Aurelius Augustinus
St. Augustine's Confessions is undoubtedly one of
the most influential books penned throughout history.
Describing the great saint's long lifetime, from his birth,
to his pagan father and his devoutly Christian (and indeed
canonized saint) mother, St. Monica, the book recounts St.
Augustine's journey from mischievous youth to dissolute
adult to baptism and Christian life in moving and specific
terms. Presented here in its original language, Latin, the
work is a testament to the famous and beautiful passage from
its very first paragraph: fecisti nos ad te, et
inquietum est cor nostrum, donec requiescat in te.
"Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our heart is restless,
until it rests in Thee." With nearly six dozen pages of
explanatory notes, an index of chapters, a thorough table of
contents, and Scriptural references marked off as they
appear in the text, this volume can be a treasure. 211 pp.,
Latin.
