Augustine: iniquity

Wednesday, August 28, 2013
    Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430
Meditation:
    “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”
    —John 4:34 (NIV)
Quotation:
    I inquired what iniquity was, and found it to be no substance, but the perversion of the will, turned aside from Thee, O God, the Supreme, towards these lower things.
