‘Great are you, O Lord …because you have made us and drawn us to yourself, and our heart is unquiet until it rests in you.’ Saint Augustine’s Confessions is considered one of the literary masterpieces of the Western world, one of the classics of civilization. Imbedded in The Confessions are awesome, moving prayers, which depict Augustine’s passion for life, his thirst for God, his compassion on his neighbour, and, above all, his love for humanity in God. These are collected in the present collection, which opens up to the reader the intimate relationship of love of one of Christianity’s greatest souls.
