When your plans aren't God's plans. 🕊️

Augustine traveled 3 days to Hippo with a specific goal in mind, but God had "other plans." In this week's episode of Augustine: The Man Behind the Saint, California Augustinian Prior Provincial Fr. Barnaby reflects on why Augustine wept at his unexpected ordination. Was it pride? Or was it a profound, trembling awareness of the grave responsibility he was about to assume? We explore how God moves us to be "vessels for honorable use," often in ways we never anticipate. Join us as we conclude Chapter 4 of Possidius' Vita.
