Dec 17– From The Confession of St. Augustine (~400) translated by E. B. Pusey

Summary: St. Augustine feels bad about being sad his mom died.

Commentary: I'm so tired of reading these batshit rambling Christian rants. Augustine's mom is great, because she's such a good Christian who makes he son beat people. She dies. He's sad. He shouldn't be bad because she's in heaven now, etc., etc. Also it starts with this monster of a sentence:

Her mother-in-law also, at first by whisperings of evil servants incensed against her, she so overcame by observance and persevering endurance and meekness, that she of her own accord discovered to her son the meddling tongues whereby the domestic peace betwixt her and her daughter-in-law had been disturbed, asking him to correct them.
