St. Augustine spoke for all of us when he wrote: "Our hearts are restless till they rest in thee." Having been an intellectual drifter and searcher until he was 32, he can speak with authority on restlessness of heart, and his journey still illumines the path for us today. Giving ourselves to a "life without borders" does not bring happiness; it's only when the TRUTH sets parameters do we find the peace for which we have been searching. As Augustine learned, the TRUTH is God, someone he had been evading and avoiding, but who waited patiently for him to wake up, find, and embrace him. That he did with all the passion that heretofore had been misdirected, being made Bishop of Hippo and becoming one of the strongest defenders of the TRUTH that the Church has known and recognized as a Doctor of the Church. What wonders God can work in us when we open our hearts to him. Through St. Augustine's intercession, may we come closer to the TRUTH today!
