Holy Father’s Angelus on St. Monica and St. Augustine

During today’s Angelus at Castel Gandolofo, the Holy Father spoke about St. Monica and St. Augustine. Pope Benedict is a deep learner about the Fathers and he is sharing wonderful insights with us now. You can hear the enthusiasm in his voice, even though he stumbles in his text once. I think he might have inserted a parenthetical.

Benedict XVI referred to Monica as an example of encouragment to parents who are suffering from watching their children stray on the wrong paths. Augustine was a long seeker after the truth, even from his youth.

VIVA IL PAPA!!
