Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Aurelius Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Vol. 13: A New Translation A letter to Augustine from Paulinus and Therasia, the substance of which is sufficiently stated in the next letter, which contains the reply of Augustine to his friend´s questions concerning the present life, the nature of the bodies of the blessed in the life to come, and the functions of the members of the body after the resurrection. Letter XCV. (A.D. 408.) To Brother Paulinus And Sister Therasia, most beloved and sincere, saints worthy of affection and veneration, fellow-disciples with himself under the Lord Jesus as master, Augustine sends greeting in the Lord. 1. When brethren most closely united to us, towards whom along with us you are accustomed both to cherish and to express sentiments of regard which we all cordially reciprocate, have frequent occasions of visiting you, this benefit is one by which we are comforted under evil rather than made to rejoice in increase of good. For we strive to the utmost of our power to avoid the causes and emergencies which necessitate their journeys, and yet, - I know not how, unless it be as just retribution, - they cannot be dispensed with: but when they return to us and see us, that word of Scripture is fulfilled in our experience: "the multitude of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul."
