Heart Cor (Episode 11)

Fecisti nos ad te et cor nostrum inquietum est donec requiescat in te.

In his most famous line from his Confessions, St. Augustine introduces the great outward and return journey of his life, of our life. In this meticulous sentence, he reveals both his ability for rhetorical flourish and the paucity of our attempts at translation.

This episode is prefaced by a dedication to Fr. Matthew L. Lamb, who was influential in Dr. Fugikawa’s philosophical and theological formation.
