Description

Continuing his analysis of immoral acts, Augustine considers the communal dimension of sin. Do we ever sin simply because of the company we keep or the community we live in? Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Jacob-Bertrand Janczyk challenges us to take stock of who we spend our lives with, reminding us that true friendship should help you flourish, not falter. Today’s readings are Book 2, Chapters 8-10.
