Pope Leo has consistently turned his audience's eyes to St. Augustine, the fifth-century bishop who continues to serve as a philosophical and theological heavyweight in Catholic thought.

Augustine's two greatest literary achievements are the "Confessions" and the massive "City of God," a fundamental text during the Middle Ages that is still read with appreciation.

Yesterday we suffered a terrible loss in Minneapolis. Msgr. LaMorte looks at today’s readings and the life of St. Augustine, whose feast we celebrate today, in light of this tragedy.

Central to the sisters' vocation is their Eucharistic life. The chapel at Rosary Hill Home is their motherhouse's living heart, from which the sisters draw strength to fulfill their mission.

Tomorrow, we celebrate the feast of St. Augustine, but today we celebrate St. Monica, his mother!
