The fact that he is a pilgrim, and longs for his own country.
To understand the Middle Ages we must forget our modern rationalism, our proud confidence in reason and science, our restless search after wealth and power and an earthy paradise; we must enter sympathetically into the mood of men disillusioned of these pursuits, standing at the end of a thousand years of rationalism, finding all dreams of utopia shattered by war and poverty and barbarism, seeking consolation in the hope of happiness beyond the grave, inspired and comforted by the story and figure of Christ, throwing themselves upon the mercy and goodness of God, and living in the thought of His eternal presence, His inescapale judgment, and the atoning death of His son. St. Augustine above all others, and even in the age of Symmachus, Claudian, and Ausonius, reveals and phrases this mood. He is the most authentic, eloquent, and powerful voice of the Age of Faith in Christendom.
What changes has taken place in your life after God called your name?
the changes that have taken place are too numerous to list
its been one heck of a process too

fought it tooth and nail in some instances
and i wouldnt change it for anything in the world
i love that im finally growing into the woman he intended me to be
Oh jeez, i would have to say if i had to pick: 1 Corinthians 2:5= that YOUR faith might be, not in men’s wisdom, but in God’s power.
Very important. Need to prove it all to ourselves and not blindly believe anything anybody tells us as truth. Happens way to often in "christianity". Goes along with it:
Romans 12:2= And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
