Augustine: living by the Spirit

Monday, January 9, 2012
Meditation:
    ... those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
    —Romans 8:14 (NIV)
Quotation:
    But when does flesh receive the bread which He calls His flesh? The faithful know and receive the Body of Christ if they labor to be the body of Christ; and they become the body of Christ if they study to live by the Spirit of Christ: for that which lives by the Spirit of Christ is the body of Christ.
    ... St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430), Lectures or Tractates on the Gospel according to St. John, vol. ii, Marcus Dods, ed., as vol. xi of The Works of Aurelius Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Edinbugh: T & T Clark, 1884, tract. 26.13, p. 376 (see the book)
