Of his conversion, St. Augustine "confessed" to God:
Suddenly I found it delightful to be without those trivial pleasures that I had feared to lose and was now glad to reject.
My mind was at last free from the gnawing cares of ambition, of the hunger for gain; free to stop wallowing in self-indulgence and picking at the scab of lust. I was now talking freely to you, Lord God, my light, my wealth and my salvation.
