St. Augustine writes:
„I heard,
speaking of his pre-converted period,
„Thy voice from on high crying unto me, ‚I am
the food of the full-grown: grow and then thou
shalt feed on Me. Nor shalt thou change Me
into thy substance as thou changest the food
of thy flesh, but thou shalt be changed into Mine‘„
(Confessions, bk.vii. Chp.X) .
Meister Eckhart speaks: „Our Lord says to every
living soul, ‚I became man for you. If you do not
become God for me, you do me wrong‘"
(Sermon Ivii) .

I would like to translate this poem
In a short but yet concise poem, these words were spoken by St. Augustine upon his awareness of being called and his participation of converting to Christianity. Amen! ! !
