Today’s Reflection
The depths of our conscience are naked to your eyes. What in me could be hidden from you even if I were unwilling to confess to you? I might be able to hide you from myself, but not myself from you.
—Augustine, edited by Keith Beasley-Topliffe, The Upper Room Spiritual Classics: Writings of Augustine (Upper Room Books, 2017)

You desire truth in the inward being;
