Im not going to be able to continue sending daily snippets from the sermons and writings of St. Augustine, although if I come upon a particularly bright gem, I may send it on. For those of you interested in delving deeper into the great bishops work, here are some websites you may find helpful.Here is a website where you can find a quotation and a prayer from St. Augustine for every day of the year. http://www.artsci.villanova.edu/dsteelman/augustine/ These are also available as a book, by John E. Rotelle, Augustine day-by-day (Catholic Book Publishing Co.)..There is another recent book that does the same thing: Donald X. Burt, Day by Day with St. Augustine (Liturgical Press).And there is an Italian site with the same purpose, based, it seems, on a work first published in 1932: http://www.augustinus.it/varie/annus/anno_mistico_03.htm#D_03_23The site that hosts the last of these--http://www.augustinus.it/is available in several languages and provides his complete works in both Latin and Italian, with a fine search-engine and links..James ODonnell has put on line his critical text and close verbal analysis of Augustines Confessions: http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/augustine.html Excellent links here, too.Finally, as Ive mentioned before, the project of publishing, for the first time ever, the complete works of Augustine in English translation is well underway.https://ssl25.mysecureserver.com/newcitypresscom/productslist.aspx?Cate… first volume of his Sermons contains an excellent introduction, well worth reading.The best biography of Augustine remains that of Peter Brown, now available in a second edition that contains an appendix about sermons and letters discovered since it first appeared. Still very much worth reading is a classic work by F. van der Meer, Augustine the Bishop, which might have been subtitled "Everyday Life in Hippo," it is so full of illuminating detail. (The story I heard was that during the Second World War, van der Meer was stuck in a convent somewhere that had a complete set of Augustine, and that he spent the war reading Augustine and writing this book.)
