Saint You Should Know: Augustine of Hippo

St. Augustine did not live the sort of life that you would expect from a saint and doctor of the Church. And yet, his life witnesses to the incredible power of God to convert our hearts and transform sinners into incredible disciples.

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.

More of Saints you should know please. Like a series on them. Thanks Padre Casey.

Approved by an Augustinian friar.

"Oh, plans, how God laughs at them."
How I even laugh about ending up a friar when I was only thinking of the priesthood XD

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.

Saint Augustine is so amazing to me. His story is so inspiring because he shows us that we ALL have a chance to redeem ourselves and do great things for God!

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.

I am Catholic and go to St. Augustine's Church.😊

[isabelfelix]

What I love about his story is his mother's sacrifice👌 I think he owes his vocation to his mother who can teach us mothers👵

[bejakabyle]

Saint Augustin is from North Africa Berber, Algeria modern day

[omen]

His conversion was thanks to St. Monica, his mother.

My patron saint and someone who was crucial in me discovering the fullness of my faith and finding the Church! Never clicked on a video so fast.

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

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.

[laracroft]

I'm from Annaba, modern Hippo and am really sad that we don't learn about St. Augustine in our history classes.

I loved the video 😊 I've seen your videos for a long time, I'm from Mexico. I would love if you could subtitle them in Spanish. So I could understand more things. God bless you ❤
