Away from me so it can recognize the movements unreasonable. Tell me which way I look to see you, and I hope to do everything I command them. Readmitted, please, your runaway slave, O Lord, and merciful Father.

Fa ', Father, that I look for you, but to defend the error while I try, nothing else come to meet me in your place. If you do not want anything that you find yourself at the end of grace, Father. But if the desire in me there is something superfluous, cleanse me and make me worthy to see you. For the rest placed in your hands, O Father most wise and good, health of my body as long as I do not know what advantage I can get it for me and those I love. It will ask you for what you as the occasion inspires me. Please only the highest your mercy you everything I turn to you and not me as I tend to create obstacles and you grant me that I, while still the port and drag my body, whether temperate, strong, fair and prudent perfect lover and worthy of your wisdom and learn to live and worthy inhabitant of your blessed kingdom. Amen, amen.

Augustine, Soliloquies
, Book I, 1, 2-6)
Personal note: In the first year post, I apologize for the delay in public on the Blog. This is not because the meaning of the Blog even though it is an unusual site. Start with a prayer that we find in the book of Soliloquies of Augustine . It 's the reason that invites him to call "salvation and help to reach the end of the" desires. This is a very beautiful prayer, in which not only the scriptural references are many and scattered, but also cultural ones, through which one can see the rise of a Christian philosophy in dialogue with the culture and the classical wisdom.
