It is interesting to note that the Lucan phrase \u201cone in mind and heart\u201d is closely linked with the description of the disciples not calling anything their own, selling what they possessed and placing the proceeds at the feet of the apostles who would then distribute them to each as was needed (Acts 2:44; 4:32.33-34).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This sharing of goods was understood by Augustine as the visible sign of oneness of mind and heart. The following selection from Augustine\u2019s commentary on Ps. 131 serves to illustrate this point: My brothers, how many thousands were they who believed, at the time when they brought to the feet of the apostles the price of their goods. And what does Scripture say of them? That they certainly became the temple of God. Not only each one alone, but all of them together, became God\u2019s temple. They thus became a place for the Lord. In order that you may understand that all of them were made into one single place for the Lord, the Scripture says: \u201cThey had one mind and one heart intent upon God.\u201d (Acts. 4:32-35)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are many persons who do not create a place for the Lord, because they look out for their own interests; they love their own advantage; they rejoice in their possessions; they seek their personal good. Whoever wants to make a place for the Lord must be content, not with private goods, but with what is common &#8230; My brothers, let us too, abstain from private property at least in a spirit of detachment, if we cannot do it in fact, and we also shall prepare a place for the Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 24 &#8211; \u201cOne mind and one heart intent upon God\u201d Augustinian community life is described by a statement comprising of two phrases: \u201cOne mind and one heart,\u201d which derives from Luke\u2019s description of the Jerusalem community, and \u201cin Deum\u201d (= \u2018intent upon God\u201925).
