Shadows of Divine Things

About Me

This site is devoted to theological and philosophical investigations of the spiritual meanings of life, current events, music, spiritual growth, nature, and learning to be attuned to listening to the 'language of God.' The name of this blog comes from one of Jonathan Edwards's journals which he called 'Shadows of Divine Things,' and later renamed 'Images of Divine Things.' As a Christian I am continously on a spiritual journey to grow more into the image of Christ, to understand what it means to be crucified with Christ. To seek the truths of the Christian Faith is of upmost importance, and to know that any truths that are found outside of Christianity are present there because they ultimately point to God. I have an M.A. in theology and apologetics and I completed one year of graduate studies in Philosophy at Marquette University.

Penitential Prayer of St. Augustine

Below is a penitential prayer of St. Augustine Bishop of Hippo which is often prayed during the season of Lent:

"O Lord, The house of my soul is narrow;enlarge it that you may enter in. It is ruinous, O repair it! It displeases Your sight. I confess it, I know.But who shall cleanse it, to whom shall I cry but to you? Cleanse me from my secret faults, O Lord, and spare Your servant from strange sins."

- St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430)
