Pope Benedict in his weekly catechesis talked about Saint and Doctor of the Church, Augustine. In the talk he mentioned:
St. Augustine was a passionate believer who recognized the importance of bringing together faith and reason,
Teaching that we should believe in order to understand and to understand in order to believe.
The particular message St. Augustine has for the men and women of today is perhaps on our need for truth. In his own search for God’s truth St. Augustine said:
You were within me, and I sought You outside in the beautiful things You made, You were with me but I was not with You. You cried out and broke open my deafness. I tested You and now I hunger and thirst for You.
