Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Do you like to eat? I bet you do. And I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I do, too. Today's reading is all about gluttony.   So, grab your books and open to page 234 to read from Book Ten, Chapter Thirty-One.  

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, St. Augustine is going to be talking more about overcoming his lustful ways, so I would caution about having young ears in the vicinity.     We must talk about these things, because they are real struggles and to ignore them is not helpful. We all know someone that struggles with lust.     So, let's turn to Book Ten, Chapter Thirty on page 233.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. We have another bite-sized reading today. Today's reading isn't too adult in theme, but I would maybe caution listening around young ears.     Let's open our books to page 233 and read from Book Ten, Chapter Twenty-Nine.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back. Another very short reading today.   Let's open to page 230 and read from Book Ten, Chapter Twenty-Four.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. We have a very short reading today that is a continuation of yesterday's reading.   We are reading from Book Ten, Chapter Twenty-Two on page 228.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back. Can people really find joy in shameful things? Some will say that they can, but we'll discuss on the other side of our reading.   We are reading from Book Ten, Chapter Twenty-One on page 227. Reading of "Hint of an Explanation" by Graham Greene

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, we are finally getting a glimpse into why St. Augustine has been talking so much about memory today. He's going to touch on happiness and how it is that we know what that is. Is it stored in our memory? It's a very very interesting reading and I think you're going to enjoy hearing his insights. We are reading from Book Ten, Chapter Twenty on page 226.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Thank you for joining me today.   St. Augustine is still contemplating memories and he is really thinking hard on all of this.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Super short reading today, where St. Augustine is basically just going to summarize all that he's been talking about with regards to memory.   Since there isn't much new here to cover, we will just read and leave it there for today.   We will be reading from Book Ten, Chapter Fifteen on page 221.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims, welcome back. Today is all about feelings held in our memory and I think you'll find it very interesting.   We are reading from Book Ten, Chapter Fourteen on page 220.
