Hello. How are you?

Um, way air.

Now. Beginning.

Let me get this mask off.

We're now beginning a, um, Books four and five on

Augustine's confessions.

And so, um, Monday or Tuesday you should spend, um,

just reading book four and five and then answering the

discussion questions which are up on the assignments.

Okay, there on the assignments.

Now, you have, um, black one and three until November

11th to get the questions in and block to until

number November 12 midnight to get the questions in, um,

and then you will have a choice of a virtual

Socratic discussion on November 12th.

It's Thursday, November 12th at 2 p.m. Or five PM,

or taking an essay test due November 12 midnight on

Dropbox assignments.

So you have to let me know which major greed

you wanna go for.

It's a major.

It's not a minor.

It's either Socratic discussion, um, or an essay test.

Um, so this week, you'll have a minor grade on

a discussion question in a major grade on mm Augustine's

confessions. Plus, um, there are two assignments on vocations to

videos. You should watch.

And if you haven't done them yet, do them.

I've moved them as grades for second quarter because I

was out last week and I wasn't sure how well

the assignment was understood.

The first video, um, is short.

And, um, you just write a brief reflection about if

you've ever thought about a vocation, how would people respond

to the fact that you would want to become a

priest or sister?

Um, and And what do you think of the vocation?

Um, becoming a priest or a sister or a married

state of life for a single state of life?

Um, and do you think one is more sacrificial than

the other?

So you write 100 word essay on that, you drop

it on the Dropbox.

The second is you to watch a film.

And, um, it's about the priesthood and about the real

meaning of the priesthood.

And it's a dialogue between the lay person and a

priest and how the scriptural roots of the priesthood and

I have a, um, form that you can download and

or that you can answer right on and then dropbox

it. So both of those air minor grades.

So don't be late on them, because you'll get five

points off.

I did move it a week later.

If you have questions, just email me on Dhe.

That's it for this week.

Then on Friday, Um, or next Monday we will be

having Bible journaling and I'll be sharing a video with

you and you're going to paint and then write calligraphy.

A quote from one from Scripture and one from Augustine

ST Augustine's.

Confessions on Friendship so you can start Start searching me.

Quote short.

Not really Long quotes, short quotes but profound quotes on

the nature and meaning of friendship with God and friendship

with each other.

Friendship with Jesus.

What does that all mean?

Um, now Augustine's confessions.

I do want to talk to you a bit About

what you're gonna be reading about this week.

Um, so Book Four.

Sorry. How to get my book book for?

I just want to go over with you.

What's going on in book for book for is a

profound book.

Um, Gustin has a lot to say.

Um, but he starts out in book for on the

Worldly Pursuits and mannequin practice.

And I want you to turn to, um the definition

of terms.

Andi, I want you to read, and this will help

you answer a question.

Concubine in Antiquity, which discusses Augustine's mistress, Who she waas.

Why your name is not mentioned.

Um, his attitude towards her, why they didn't get married

and their child out of wedlock.

And I think you should read that it's on page

3, 27 3 28 in the back.

And then, um, I want you to know in book

for Also he starts to become attracted to astrology.

And what's the difference between astrology and astronomy?

Um, one is a science, and one is stars controlled

the lives and astrology kind of gets rid of free

will. So just kind of, ah, thought on that.

The big part of book for is the fact that

Augustine loses a friend and it's a friend he introduces

into the mannequin faith who suddenly becomes ill and is

unconscious. His, um, parents, his friends, parents haven't baptized, even

though he's a mannequin.

And when he awakes, Augustine is there to greet him.

Augustine considers this friend a best friend, Um, someone who

shares everything with him.

And when he makes fun of baptism, Augusta makes fun

of baptism to his supposed Manukyan friend who has been

baptized and is facing death.

The friend tells him to get out your heretic.

Um, get out your I don't want to see you.

And Augustine leaves devastated.

And then shortly after that, his friend dies, and he

never gets to see him again.

A reconcile.

His grief is profound in chapter five and chapter six,

make sure you get some quotes on that Thio.

Answer the questions.

And, um, the grief drove him back to Carthage.

Um, he reflects on the nature off true friendship and

that on Leah friending, God cannot be lost.

That God, as part of the friendship is true friendship.

So just really dive into chapters four through nine.

It's very important.

Um, And then also, uh, really understand book.

I mean, chapter 16, where he reads Aristotle.

Okay, on the categories, Aristotle has an effect on him,

but not as much as neo plane is.

Um, And that is because neo plane is, um, deals

more with supernatural.

And Augusta is more concerned with the supernatural and understanding

the supernatural.

All right, so the discussion questions are on the discussion.

No, they're on my assignments.

Um, one you can have one partner and one conduce

you look for And the other conduce you Book five.

Okay, so Book five again.

Book five begins with a prayer Chapter one in chapter

two about how creation speaks of God and how man

cannot escape God's presence.

All right, And then, um, in chapters three through chapter

seven, Um, it's dealing with Faustus, who is the head

of the mannequins and the supposed leader that will give

him all the answers he needs when he meets him.

He is sorely disappointed.

He doesn't give him the answers he needs.

All right, Um, he's very perturbed by the mannequin teaching

on the stars.

Um, and how he really comes to the conclusion the

stars do not control the soul, and he doesn't see

any sense in it.

So, um, he has a lot of questions.

Fastest. Can't answer them.

He becomes quite disillusioned at this point.

He heads to Rome, and he lies to his mother,

um, to get away from her because she wants to

follow him to Rome.

She really doesn't want to go.

And he kind of sets up this prayer evening for

his mom.

He knew his mom would love it.

And while she is praying, he takes off.

When he gets the room, he falls ill and he

nearly dies.

Um, which gets him thinking.

And, um, he starts to leave the manna keys, and

it becomes very attracted to the academics, which are skeptics.

So kind of understand what that is, What's a skeptic?

He's still having difficulty reading Scripture correctly, but, um, what

he does is he's having trouble at Marone teaching.

His students are very, um, undisciplined.

So he decides to go to Milan and in going

to Milan is where he meets ST Ambrose.

And, um, he's helped very much by Ambrose's, um, figurative

explanation of Scripture, which is Scripture is much more than

literal. There's very deep type, a logical references where, um

and we've talked about this, um, where Scripture should be

read much deeper than just on the surface, and ST

Ambrose helps him with that.

So that's book five.

So I just gave you a survey.

But now for each question, I want you to get

quotes now on the concubine.

The quote should come from the back of the book,

which I told you to turn to, but the rest

should come from actual quotes.

You should have two quotes for each question.

A ZX Well, is your words.

Don't be late on this.

Five points off every day late.

Unless there's a good reason.

Okay. Um, other than that, that's the week.

Um, our Socratic discussion will be Thursday and or you

have to email me and tell me if you want

the essay test.

But whoever is not engaged in the discussion on Thursday

at two o'clock or five o'clock, I will assume will

be doing the essay test.

I will send it by email, and it has to

be to me by midnight that day.

Okay. The Thursday by midnight.

All right.

I'm gonna give it to you when they have Socratic,

and so you'll have that many hours to get the

essay to me.

All right.

God bless and hope you have a great week.
