Quote by Augustine
“Y de cosas así está mi vida llena. Y mi única esperanza es tu misericordia enormemente grande207. En efecto, cuando nuestro corazón se convierte en recipiente de cosas de este tipo y transporta catervas de desbordantes vanidades, a menudo sucede que, desde ahí, nuestras oraciones son interrumpidas y obstaculizadas y, mientras dirigimos la voz del corazón hacia tus oídos, queda truncada ante tu mirada una cosa tan importante por pensamientos estúpidos que me asaltan no sé de dónde.”
― Augustine ,
from Confesiones

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
