Restless Heart: The Confessions of St. Augustine

I went to see the movie Restless Heart: The Confessions of St. Augustine on June 26 (the day before my birthday) and I was overwhelmed with a sense of graciousness, hope, and companionship.

Even though I went home alone, I felt even closer to God after watching that movie. I knew that He was always with me and that He would always be watching over me.

St. Augustine of Hippo was a sinner. He was a thief, a liar, an arrogant man. He slept around, disobeyed his parents, and he didn't believe in God. There is a sinner in all of us, and just knowing that St. Augustine was redeemed is so hopeful and humbling.

The movie itself was lovely, I would recommend it to anyone.
