St augustines confessions summary - consider
One of the most enthralling, if not also the most challenging, features of our life in Christ is the adventure of coming to know ourselves. It can be enthralling because, in this process, we get to see more and more deeply, and to appreciate more and more profoundly, the ineradicable goodness within us which God has given, is giving and will give to us. We can come to know that our goodness thrives and expresses itself whenever our minds grasp the true, whenever our hearts love the beautiful, whenever our bodies perform the athletic. But this process can be challenging because, if we are trying to be honest in coming to know ourselves, and not some kind of image or illusion that we make of ourselves, then we get to see more and more acutely those aspects of ourselves which are not always the most pleasant to look at, let alone confront. We can come to know that there have been moments when we have not quite lived up to the good which we have been given and to which we have been summoned. Given its enthrallment and its challenge, we might even wonder whether this process of advancing towards greater self-knowledge can actually take place. Are the enthralling aspects of my goodness so alluring that I cannot but cling to them, as if these goods were the whole of who I am? Are the challenging aspects of my not-so-goodness so appalling that I cannot but hide myself from them, as if these not-so-goods were not part of who I am? Do I so over-emphasize the good and so under-appreciate the not-so-good that I am not really coming to know myself as such, but rather some figment of my own imagination, some fantasy of my own creation? st augustines confessions summary
