Status Updates From Confessions of Saint Augustine

seriously, never felt so understood by almost anyone in the whole world.

"The tears flowed from me when I heard your hymns and canticles, for the sweet singing of your Church moved me deeply. The music surged in my ears, truth seeped into my heart, and my feelings of devotion overflowed, so that the tears streamed down. But they were tears of gladness." p.190 😭😭😭😭😭

So far, St Augustine as a child was mocked and beaten for falling behind his studies because he told God that it was not because of their lack of intelligence but rather being given too much for their age and adults punishing them would do the exact same except they wouldn’t be punished for it but call it a different term for it. He asked if anyone sensible agree that children being punished when adults are equal.
