The Sacrifices Necessary to be Saved (St. Augustine, Sermon 206) | Ep. 17

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this second Lenten episode, we read St. Augustine's Sermon 206, delivered during Lent approximately 1,600 years ago. We then offer our thoughts on this great Church Father's words about the kinds of sacrificial suffering Christ demands of us, and are necessary for our salvation.

Thank you to the Catholic University of America Press, who has given Eternal Christendom permission to read from their "Fathers of the Church" series for our podcast.
