There is a legend that Augustine, accosted on the street by a former mistress shortly after his commitment to Christ, turned & walked in the opposite direction.
Surprised, the woman cried
out, "Augustine, it is I."
But Augustine, proceeding on
his way, cried back to her, "Yes, but it is not I."
What he meant was that there
was a new Augustine & that this new Augustine would avoid the very
territory & appearance of evil.

all appearance of evil.”

temptation, you become more like Jesus!” -
