In St. Augustine's Confessions, Augustine writes his memoir in order to enlighten those whom read it. Throughout his confession, he is fairly straightforward when it comes to tell about his life, his life struggles and ultimately conversion and God. Although I mention these topics that Augustine elaborates on, I will only write about his faith in the God he speaks about so freely and has such passion for.
             Throughout the first pages of his confession, Augustine makes quite a reference to God. "The sweetest Christian mystery, infinity made flesh, bread and wine, is accomplished without the concept, next to the flesh, in a convulsion" (4). Here it is definitely clear that he holds a strong sense of passion for his God and the Christian embrace on the worship of the one true God and his covenant. "When as I love my God, I love a certain kind of light, and a kind of voice, and a kind of fragrance, and a kind of meant, and a kind of embrace...Embrace, taste, fragrancy, voice and light which are if the inner human of me" (5). Once again, it is part of Augustine now to become one with the one Lord. He is in all saying that when God is present he has become as He is. In spirituality and in flesh. "See, O Lord, how great a space I have coursed over in my memory seeking thee" (50).
             The entire Confession as a whole was an amazing piece to read. I suppose that the reason for calling it Confessions is for the fact that is was somewhat in prayer form. He knows God is consistently prepared to forgive those who have sinned and continue to sin, but Augustine is somewhat lending credence to the all-forgiving nature of the Almighty. Most importantly, by praising the qualities of God the Merciful, the Confessions leaves its readers safe in the knowledge that they, too, can be redeemed if they renounce the errors of the past and learn to embrace the Christian message.
