DAY 26 - THE GIRLFRIEND

Today we meet the man behind the saint. Through the lens of a loving but tragic relationship, we reflect on Augustine's true humanity—as someone who was flawed, hurt, and broken, rather than a distant saintly figure.

Fr Max invites reflection on personal experiences of vulnerability, career pressure, or heartbreak, and where one turns for comfort during those times. He also introduces Pope Leo’s request to consider the importance of recognizing the humanity of Jesus and the human dimensions of the Church, where people struggle and make mistakes.
