Profile
Son of a pagan father who converted on his death bed, and of Saint Monica, a devout Christian. Raised a Christian, he lost his faithin youth and led a wild life. Lived with a Carthaginian woman from the age of15 through 30. Fathered a son whom he named Adeotadus, which means thegift of God. Taught rhetoric at Carthage and Milan, Italy. After investigatingand experimenting with several philosophies, he became a Manichaean for severalyears; it taught of a great struggle between good and evil, and featured a laxmoral code. A summation of his thinking at the time comes from his Confessions: “God, give me chastityand continence – but not just now.”
Augustine finally broke with the Manichaeans and was convertedby the prayers of his mother and the help of Saint Ambrose of Milan, who baptizedhim. On the death of his mother he returned to Africa, sold his property, gavethe proceeds to the poor, and founded a monastery. Monk. Priest. Preacher. Bishopof Hippo in 396. Founded religious communities. Fought Manichaeism, Donatism, Pelagianismand other heresies. Oversaw his church and his see during the fall of the RomanEmpire to the Vandals. Doctor of the Church. His later thinking can also besummed up in a line from his writings: Ourhearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in you.
