"Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in Thee." With those words St. Augustine opened the first spiritual autobiography ever written - and still the greatest. The Confessions is the story of a brilliant, hungry, divided man who chased every substitute for God the ancient world could offer, and was found at last by the God he was running from.Cor Inquietum walks the arc of the Confessions over fourteen days, in Augustine's own words, in the beloved public-domain translation of E. B. Pusey. Each day opens with a line of his own, sets the scene, and gives his words at length, before turning to what they ask of us today, a word of Scripture, a question to carry, and a prayer - most of them Augustine's own, for the Confessions is nothing if not one long, burning prayer.This is a guided retreat, not a reprint:Fourteen meditations - the Restless Heart, the Pear Theft, "in love with love," his mother's tears, "give me chastity, but not yet," the garden where a child said Take up and read, the death of Monnica, "Too Late Have I Loved Thee," and the Rest that has no eveningHis life, and the words to carryA treasury of his prayersFull-color plates - Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Carpaccio, Champaigne, Scheffer, Doré, and original paintingsA journaling section - pages for your own confessionsAll doctrinal content follows the constant teaching of the Catholic Church.Come and be restless with him a while - and, with him, be brought to rest.
