St. Augustine on Who Christ Is for Us

The post presents a series of questions and answers attributed to St. Augustine that describe Christ's identity in relation to human needs. Each line pairs a human condition with a title of Christ: the Physician for wounds, Peace for a troubled soul, Justice for injustice, Power for helplessness, Life for fear of death, the Way for those seeking heaven, Light for those who hate darkness, and Food for hunger.
The accompanying image shows a halo inscribed with "Ο ΩΝ" (He Who Is) and an open book displaying John 8:12 in Greek: "I am the light of the world; he who follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life." The text functions as a compact Christological catechesis, drawing on scriptural titles to show how Christ meets every spiritual lack. No further commentary or discussion is included in the source.
