Today’s readings from Through the Church Fathers in a Year explore Augustine’s reflections in Confessions, Book V, Chapters I–II, where he recounts his journey away from Manichaeism, his time in Rome and Milan, and his first encounters with Ambrose. Augustine wrestles with God’s omnipresence, realizing that fleeing from Him is an illusion. We also engage with Summa Theologica, Part I, Question 33, Article 2, where Aquinas explains why "Father" is properly the name of a divine person, grounding it in the relational distinctions within the Trinity.
