Saint You Should Know: Augustine of Hippo

[@ksiriscool]

Augustine is a n example of one who experienced God's mercy and a radical conversion to christ. He and Paul the apostle are examples that conversion is possible.

[@blackfalkon4189]

Augustine paved the way for what would be later known as protestant/reformed

[@kj-my7se]

Why convert if you are already Catholic? Renewal is obtuse. Evangelization isn't necessary.

[@kdmdlo]

I think you can go even earlier to St. Matthew.

[@phixphixation7261]

He completely distorted the scriptures and embraced many to live in shame and guilt.

[@matts-7566]

​@@blackfalkon4189its not Augustine fault about called so Reformist wrongly interpretation and cherry picking argument. Augustine taught us to submit to Rome, Roma locuta, causa finita est.

[@purplebingsalve9908]

Our Church is so blessed because of St. Augustine. Whoever said, 'Saints have a past and sinners have a future" is truly right. St. Augustine, pray for us.

[@josephryan5949]

My kind of Saint. My favourite would be St.Thérèse of Lisieux, not so much for her holiness but for her humanity. She had doubts and many struggles and she felt she had nothing special to offer. Like many of us, she dreamed of doing great deeds but the reality of her daily life was quite mundane. She wasn't even great at praying; often falling asleep. She came to the Lord with empty hands but she learned from Him that there was one thing she could do; she could be a person of love. I have very many doubts but I always find encouragement and inspiration from St.Thérèse.

[@anastylos2812]

Thank you for recommending St. Therese of Lisieux. I often think that anyone who has no doubts has not really understood Christianity. God becoming human and sacrificing himself? That's quite much to accept. But that's why I think it has to be true. If men had invented it they would have invented something more logical and easy to accept. Or how St. Augustine said it: If you understand it it's not God.

[@gigiboushelle7965]

I’m so glad you said this, I’ve never heard about her in this sense and it is so inspiring in an odd way. God bless!

[@tj6671]

Old habits must be replaced with new ones, if you can go a month with Jesus being your sole focus every time you get tempted, you can go the rest of your life with this sin defeated. Make a new habit, set a new record, avoid things that tempt you like the plague, protect your self like you would protect a child, set a new desire, a desire to be closer to God and have your heart set free. Life is all about overcoming struggles and persevere! For Jesus loves you and picks you up every time you fall. Keep running in faith. We are made new in Christ.

I'm reading "Confessions" for the first time, I didn't really know much about Augustine's life beforehand. So far the book has me enthralled with it's sheer honesty and relatability, was not expecting a fourth century Saint to have lived in many ways as I do, falling into worldly vices and straying from God. A wonderful piece of literature, for the mind and spirit. St Augustine, pray for us.

About the City of Saint Augustine, FL, the pronunciation might be an anglicized pronunciation of the Castilian Spanish: San Agustín.

[@paulmiller3469]

That's a good point. Never thought of that.

Perhaps it's the spelling that was anglized to fit the Spanish pronounciation being that it started as a Spanish settlement. Maybe San Agustín was the original name.

[@enixbluerain7213]

Why is the city of San Agustin anglicized while San Francisco and San Antonio are not?

[@HurtadoFelipe]

@@enixbluerain7213 The British took over at some time changing most local names to english, at that time all of the Spaniards residents took off and moved to Cuba, then it was returned to Spain, but later ceded to the United States and I guess the English name stuck.
