St Augustine in prayer

[Frankk]

I’ve read that St Augustine heard these words of Christ in prayer, “You will not change me into yourself as you would food of your flesh; but you will be changed into me.” referring to the Eucharist.

Does anyone know where (or in what text) St Augustine said this, please?

the passage containing it is available here; newadvent.org/fathers/110107.htm

See Chapter 10.

That just blew me away. I’m always looking for teachings on Theosis/Divinization. Great quote from St. Augustine. Looks like I will be re-reading the Confessions. Thank the both of you.

VIVA IL PAPA!

I see it as a rather wonderful way of being shown we actually become righteous, rather than just being declared so!

I like the new advent website a lot…
