Saintly Brew



It's really quite fitting for a Friday that today is the Feastday of St Augustine, the Patron Saint of Brewers. He gained this accolade because "of his conversion from a former life of loose living, which included parties, entertainment, and worldly ambitions. His complete turnaround and conversion has been an inspiration to many who struggle with a particular vice or habit they long to break," (Catholic Online).

I love a party as much (perhaps more!) than the next girl; but as we head into the weekend let's remember St Augustine's wisdom when he urges us away from seeking ultimate satisfaction in the world:

 “Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, 
and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
