What Do You Love?

“To discover the character of any people, we have only to observe what they love.”—Saint Augustine

 

Augustine wrote in his City of God that there were two types of people: Those who love God even to the contempt of self and those who love self even to the contempt of God. The bottom line: Understanding one’s ultimate origin, identity, and destination should vitally inform the way in which one lives (and I do not think our beloved Bishop of Hippo would mind me adding, “. . . and the way one lifts!”).
