p.s. to augustine of hippo

the collect from the 1963 lesser feasts and fasts of the episcopal church is such a wonderful piece of writing that i had to include it. i think professor enderby would approve:

"o lord god, who art the light of the minds that know thee, the life of the souls that love thee, and the strength of the hearts that serve thee: help us, after the example of thy servant saint augustine, so to know thee that we may truly love thee, so to love thee that we may fully serve thee, whom to serve is perfect freedom; through jesus christ our lord. amen.
