An Open Heart

St. Augustine has an open heart when he is studying scripture and philosophical writings. He is looking for answers and is open to the possibility of God. My friend's father is also very well read in scriptures, philosophy, religion -- but he is an atheist. He reads with a closed heart and because of this he is unable to believe in God. St. Augustine studies and uses his mind (and heart) to become closer to God rather than using his intellect to shut himself off from God.
