Date – Monday, August 28th 2023 – St. Augustine

1. **Birth and Early Life:** St. Augustine was born on November 13, 354, in Thagaste (modern-day Souk Ahras, Algeria).

2. **Conversion and Writing:** St. Augustine's "Confessions" is a significant work that describes his moral transformation from a life of pride and sensuality to his turning toward God, largely influenced by his encounters with St. Ambrose.

3. **Influence of St. Ambrose:** St. Augustine admired St. Ambrose greatly and would often watch him work. His presence had a profound impact on St. Augustine's conversion process.

4. **Voice from God:** While in a state of internal crisis, St. Augustine hears a voice saying "Tolle et lege" (take it and read). He opens the Scriptures to a verse that touches his heart and solidifies his conversion.

5. **Colloquium with St. Monica:** St. Augustine had a supernatural conversation with his mother, St. Monica, in Ostia, which strengthened him for future challenges. St. Monica prayed fervently for his conversion.

6. **St. Augustine's Role:** St. Augustine becomes the Bishop of Hippo in Africa, where he writes his significant work, "The City of God."

7. **"The City of God":** St. Augustine's masterpiece "The City of God" presents the struggle between the City of God and the City of the Devil as the axis of history. This work establishes the foundation for Christian civilization.

8. **Impact on Middle Ages:** Despite the fall of the Roman Empire and the uncertainty of the future, St. Augustine's works continued to inspire and shape the medieval conception of the State, Empire, and Christendom.

9. **Legacy:** St. Augustine's writings and philosophies continued to influence the medieval period and beyond. His confidence in the face of uncertainty serves as a lesson for persevering in the face of challenges.

10. **Modern Application:** Just as St. Augustine's writings persisted through turbulent times, we are encouraged to carry on our work with faith and confidence, even in the face of contemporary challenges to Christian Civilization.

This arrangement provides a chronological overview of key events and themes related to St. Augustine's life and influence, showing his transformation, his impact on medieval thought, and the enduring relevance of his teachings.

St. Augustine, pray for us!
