"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it Let it loose; it will defend itself."

Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine, was a theologian and philosopher of Berber origin and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman North Africa. 

Born: 13 November 354 AD, Thagaste

Died: 28 August 430 AD (age 75 years), Ruins of Hippo (Hippo Regius), Annaba, Algeria.

Early Life and Conversion: Augustine, born in 354 AD in North Africa (modern-day Algeria), led a life of worldly pursuits until his conversion to Christianity in 386. His spiritual journey is detailed in his famous autobiography, "Confessions."

Bishop of Hippo: Augustine served as the Bishop of Hippo (in present-day Annaba, Algeria) from 395 until his death in 430. During his episcopacy, he played a crucial role in defending orthodox Christian doctrine against various heresies.

Major Works: Augustine's writings have had a profound impact on Christian theology. His notable works include "Confessions," an introspective autobiographical work, and "The City of God," a monumental treatise on theology, philosophy, and the destiny of humanity.

Doctrine of Original Sin: Augustine developed the influential theological concept of Original Sin, which posits that humanity inherits a sinful nature from the fall of Adam and Eve. This idea has had a lasting impact on Christian theology and soteriology.

Influence on Western Christianity: Augustine's teachings have left an indelible mark on Western Christianity. His views on grace, predestination, and the relationship between faith and reason have shaped theological discussions for centuries, influencing both Catholic and Protestant traditions.

Cidade de Deus Mexer nessas ferramentas de inteligência artificial tá sendo um processo super interessante e doido. É um turbilhão de informações ao mesmo tempo que julgo e vejo questões nessas formas de criar imagens digitais, estou metendo a mão e aprendendo muito pela infinidade de possibilidades. Resumindo este IA no meu ponto de vista, o que ele faz é tornar os seus medos, sonhos, vontades e desejos em imagens. Tudo que você pensa, você enxerga. #midjourney #cidadededeus #cityofgod (em Cidade De Deus) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7OJuupp7D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

City of God

[resolved]

For, in the same fire, gold gleams and straw smokes; under the same flail the stalk is crushed and the grain threshed; the lees are not mistaken for oil because they have issued from the same press. So, too, the tide of trouble will test, purify, and improve the good, but beat, crush, and wash away the wicked. So it is that, under the weight of the same affliction, the wicked deny and blaspheme God, and the good pray to Him and praise Him. The difference is not in what people suffer but in the way they suffer. The same shaking that makes fetid water stink makes perfume issue a more pleasant odor.

Augustine, Civitate Dei, Book I, Chapter 8, ¶ 3

#DailyDevotion This Is Not Our Country Or Our World

#DailyDevotion This Is Not Our Country Or Our World Heb. 11 13All these died in faith without having received what was promised. But they saw it far ahead and welcomed it, and they confessed they were strangers and travelers on earth. 14Those who talk that way show they're looking for a country of their own. 15If their hearts had been in the country they left, they could have found an opportunity to go back. 16Instead, they were longing for a better country - I mean heaven. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because He has prepared a city for them. So remember the author's definition of faith, "is being sure of the things we hope for, being convinced of the things we can't see." Having gone through a list of saints who live by faith in the promises of God, we see they died in faith, not having received what was promised. Abraham and Sarah did have a son, but that was it. They saw what was promised with the eyes of faith. The fulfillment would be far ahead. These patriarchs of our faith welcomed these promises because they knew the One who promised was faithful. Not only were they strangers and pilgrims in the land of Canaan. They were the same on this planet. They were looking for a country of their own, one promised by the LORD. We are their descendants by faith cf. Romans 9. As such, we too trust in the promises of God our Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ. In John 14 Jesus says, "“Don't be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in Me. 2In My Father's house there are many rooms. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I go to prepare a place for you. 3And when I have gone and prepared a place for you, I'll come again and take you home with Me so you'll be where I am." In 1 Peter 2 he writes, "I urge you, as guests and strangers in this world..." Paul reminds us in Eph. 2, "19Then you are no longer foreigners or strangers but fellow citizens with the holy people and members of His household." It is written in 2 Peter 2, "according to His promise we expect new heavens and a new earth where righteousness lives." If these things are true, we should live like our patriarch in this present age, this present world. We should have strong attachments to anyone or anything in this present world except our fellow Christians with whom we will be spending all eternity. This is why Jesus can tell us in the Sermon on the Mount, "39But I tell you, don't oppose an evil man. If anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other cheek to him. 40If anyone wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat, too. 41If anyone makes you go one mile, go two miles with him. 421f anyone asks you for anything, give it to him, and when anyone wants to borrow from you, don't turn away." These things don't matter much in God's Kingdom which is the heaven in verse 16. God was not ashamed to call them His people. They trusted in Him. He is not ashamed to call you His people because you share the same faith as them. Jesus has promised to prepare a place for us, a city, the New Jerusalem. We must persist in this faith if we want to receive what He has promised us. So that we may persist in this faith, Jesus has given us the means of grace: baptism, absolution, the Supper, the Word, and forgiveness from the Church. If we cease to make use of the gifts He has given us to preserve us in this faith, then we are despising Him and our faith is no faith at all. These gifts He has given us are to strengthen and preserve in the true faith until His revelation to all the world. Then we shall receive what He has promised us, eternal life with Him, the Father and the Spirit. Merciful God and Father, ever give us Your gifts so we may persevere in the faith, live in it, and receive what You have promised. In Jesus' name. Amen. Read the full article

In this episode of Author to Author, Patricia Hershwitzky, Ed.S., on her book Teaching the City of God in the City of Man (February 28, 2023) Teaching the City of God in the City of Man counters the lethally misleading pedagogy now infesting government schools but also shading many Catholic schools. From Aristotle to Aquinas to Augustine, to all the Early Church Fathers, the multitudes of prolific Saints, and simply wise witnesses over the centuries, this tome upholds objective truth, natural law, Divine Revelation and Will, the very cornerstones that built the model of Christendom. That evil has at times eroded the ground underneath has never touched the Rock itself. Moreover, there are great signs of renewal, and this work serves to complement those tremendous efforts. Still, much needs to be done. The secular world is awash with many worldly post graduate degree programs, some helpful but too many poisonous to the brain, heart, and soul of education which should be laser focused on preparing students to live and regenerate the good, true, and beautiful. Regressive citadels of power in government and therefore public school boards and systems threaten any Christian influence. Teaching the City of God in the City of Man is a sectional Primer developed to enable, empower and embolden all Catholic educators, including parents, to impart knowledge across all subject areas. Additionally, the Primer provides many tools and was designed to accommodate individual graduate coursework in potential 3-credit units, incorporating a plethora of sample lesson ideas and reliable reference materials. Written by a veteran Catholic educator who taught in both public and Catholic schools for twenty-three years, and principal at one Catholic school for five years, Teaching the City of God in the City of Man emphasizes the only credible mission of education to cultivate a spirit of responsible, loving, and contributory citizenship in this temporal life and attain eternal citizenship with Perfect Love in the next. The only means to fully accomplish this schooling is by integrating Faith, Hope, and Charity in all subjects and lessons implicitly and explicitly through the prism of Salvation History. It is the goal of Teaching the City of Cod in the City of Man to provide fresh facets in approaches, curriculum and instruction, and resources to complement the wonderful work already begun in the Classical education movement, teacher credential programs, and even Archdiocesan offerings. Even faithful Catholic teachers currently in the quagmire of public education can benefit. Of course, all of this must also be accomplished by recognizing and respecting the honorable and necessary objectives in various subject matter in reading, math, science, history, government, the arts, and even physical education. For all of these originated in God, the Creator, for our good and well-being. Ironically, it is the lower domain that has disfigured the inherent value of education in these areas. From the distortion of human events to the mutilation of individual dignity, contemporary studies discourage the mind and suffocate the soul. Catholic, which means universal, in its fullness, uplifts the heart towards Love and Truth, invigorates the mind and restores the soul. Teaching the City of God in The City of Man, scheduled for publication in the Spring of 2023, aims to be one more step in that direction. https://www.enroutebooksandmedia.com/cityofgod
