Aliens in This World

At the Friday night prayer vigil that was just shown live on EWTN, the Holy Father had a very good homily about the Holy Spirit. He leaned heavily on St. Augustine, and commented that he didn’t really understand the Third Person of the Trinity very well until he read Augustine’s writings about Him. So… I guess we know what I’ve got to read on the Church Fathers, on the Maria Lectrix podcast, don’t we?

(I’ve been pondering doing something on the Holy Spirit for a while, actually. Maybe a year and a half, maybe two. Nothing like being prodded!)

I’m not sure exactly what work/s by Augustine the Pope was referencing, though. When Vatican.va gets the speech text up, I’m sure it’ll be in the notes.

Btw, I’m not complaining about Vatican.va. For once, they have really been on the ball. Just now, all the Pope’s talks were up except the prayer vigil one — and that one was just delivered about an hour ago.

UPDATE: According to the homily notes, the Pope is recommending De Trinitate.
