Welcome to FRESHImage Presents!
For Augustine, the psalms provide Christians with a mirror for our lives in two ways: First, they reflect the drama of the human experience this side of eternity. Second, they reflect how we are called to respond to the joys and tribulations in such a way as to actively participate in the “reconciliation of all things to Christ”, as St. Paul tells (Col. 1:20)
In this FRESHImage Presents, Tony talks about how, for Augustine, the psalms have a Eucharistic force that draws us out of ourselves and strengthens us to be Christ to others.
