St. Augustine was a deep thinker and a great writer. A rather wild child, he came to Christ in his thirties. His written legacy (more than 5 million words) still speaks to our souls.
Let the just rejoice,
for their Justifier is born.
Let the sick and infirm rejoice,
For their Saviour is born.
Let the captives rejoice,
For their Redeemer is born.
Let slaves rejoice,
for their Master is born.
Let free men rejoice,
For their Liberator is born.
Let All Christians rejoice,
For Jesus Christ is born.
St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430)
Amen. Full of rich truth. Thank you, Shirlee.
One of many sets of wise words from Augustine.
