Synopsis

Burning with Love; Prayers of St. Augustine Reimagined
Enter the soul of one of the Church’s greatest saints. This prayer book gathers beloved prayers attributed to St. Augustine and presents them in a fresh, poetic, and deeply devotional style that awakens the heart. Each prayer captures Augustine’s passion, humility, and longing for God—inviting readers into a more intimate, confessional, and transformative encounter with the Divine. Perfect for daily prayer, meditation, or spiritual renewal.

Here is an excerpt that reflects the beauty contained within:

O Lord my God—

You who are mercy itself,
hidden from my eyes yet nearer to me than my own breath;
unchanging in Your eternity, yet ordering all things that change.

You are never young, never old,
ever working, yet eternally at rest;
the Creator of all, the Sustainer of all,
the perfection toward which all things long.

What do I possess that is not Your gift?
What can my tongue utter of You,
when even my words are borrowed from the breath You give?

And yet, O Lord, stoop down to me in Your compassion.
Permit me—dust and frailty though I am—
to speak to You, to praise You,
to whisper Your holy Name with trembling love.

— compiled and edited by J.M. Benavidez Estoque
