“In 397, or twelve years after his conversion, Augustine wrote his Confessions, the greatest spiritual autobiography ever written.  It is the work of a teacher who explains, a philosopher who thinks, a theologian who instructs, a poet who achieves chaste beauty in the writing, and a mystic who pours out thanks for having found himself in peace.  None of the Freuds or Jungs or Adlers of our generation has ever pierced the conscious and the unconscious mind with a rapier as keen as Augustine’s.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life is Worth Living)
