At the high point of his spiritual crisis,
wrestling with himself alone in the garden,
Saint Augustine heard a child’s voice crying out,
“Take up and read, take up and read.”
He took up his Bible and read, and
what he read altered his entire life.
Let us do the same: Take up and read.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 118 [119]:105).
His Grace, Kallistos Ware.
