St. Augustine was born at Tagaste, Africa in 354. Monica, his mother, constantly prayed for his conversion. At thirty-five years of age, St. Augustine finally received baptism. At forty-one, he became Bishop of Hippo. From 5is time until his death, he wrote voluminous works that have been the admiration of the ages. His sublime knowledge merited for him the title of one of the greatest Doctors of the Western Church.
