    Extractions: SAINT AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH The saint, who described himself publicly as a great sinner in his “Confessions”, was bishop Augustine, one of the greatest fathers of the Church, who shaped theology, from the fifth century on. He was born, Aurelius Augustine in Algeria, in 354. His father was a pagan, but his mother was a devout Christian. She was Saint Monica, who converted her pagan husband later, and by her care and tears saved Augustine, the prodigal son. She delayed his baptism until his penitence. Augustine grew less interested in religion, and more interested in flesh desires. From intrusion, stealing the pears from neighboring gardens, to immerse in sex with typical friends, he ran his life in the fast lane. He took a concubine at age seventeen, after his formal education in law and rhetoric in Carthage, and had a son, named Adeodatus, to mean ‘given by God’. After about two years he started reading Cicero, and became interested in philosophy of ‘Plato’. He taught rhetoric for a short time in his hometown ‘Tagaste’, and then he moved back to Carthage in 376, to run his own school. He joined the ‘Manichees’, a strict religious sect, but he continued his restlessness. St. Monica, his mother, reached her peak of worry, care, and despair when her beloved son Augustine, moved to Milan, a big city with its worldly attraction, where he was appointed a professor of rhetoric. But, she followed him with her prayers and tears, to find him moved to Rome, and then again back to Milan. She attempted to arrange a good marriage for him, but he refused. While she was in constant prayers and tears, he was on the other hand groaning in lamentations: “And Thou, O Lord, how long? How long? Is it to be tomorrow and tomorrow? Why not this very hour put an end to shame?”

    Extractions: SAINT AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO BISHOP, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH—354-430A.D. Feast: August 28 Pope Leo I, during whose pontificate Augustine was canonized, ordered that the feast of this saint should be observed with the same honors as that of an Apostle. In every succeeding age his memory has been held in the highest veneration and his writings have been an inspiration to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Augustine was born on November 13, 354, at Tagaste, a small town of Numidia, North Africa, not far from the episcopal city of Hippo. His parents were citizens of good standing, though not wealthy. The father was one Patricius, a hot-tempered man and a pagan, who, under the influence of his Christian wife, the saintly Monica, learned patience and humility and was baptized shortly before his death. Of this union there were three children: Augustine, another son, Navigius, and a daughter, Perpetua, who became an abbess. He wrote the book, he says, for "a people curious to know the lives of others, but careless to amend their own," to demonstrate God's mercy as shown in the life of one sinner, and to make sure that no one should think him any better than he really was. With the utmost candor Augustine divulges the sins and follies of his youth, and at the end enumerates the weaknesses which still beset him. With a copy of the book which he sent to a friend, he wrote: "See now what I am from this book; believe me who bear testimony against myself, and regard not what others say of me."

    Extractions: Ptolemy warned his reader in the opening section of his Planetary Hypotheses that one could secure, by using mechanical analogies, only a superficial look, hardly a real insight into the nature of the planetary motions.1 For, as he explained it in the second book of his work, to understand the motion of planets one should think of the case of birds whose motions were due to a vital principle residing within them. From this source came the impulse that spread into their muscles and from there to their wings, without disturbing nearby birds or the surroundings in general. "Of the situation among celestial bodies we should think in the same manner, and also uphold the opinion that each of them possesses a vital force, moves of itself and imparts motion to bodies united with it."2 True, the master teacher of epicycles, deferents, and equants could hardly be expected to deny a basic interconnectedness between the motion of planets. Yet, even here his most expressive simile was again taken not from the realm of dead machinery but from the realm of living beings, and this time of intelligent beings too. Coordination without mechanical connection of constraint, as displayed by a group of dancers or by soldiers drilling with weapons, was for Ptolemy what came closest to a true description of the heavenly motions.3 Among them were the Romans, whose practicality had no taste for Greek theorizing and who took pride in restricting their study of mathematics to the useful. Yet the Romans, who as Cicero tells us thanked the gods for not being dreamers like the Greeks, showed an unrestrained liking for the organismic concept of the universe, which they had learned mainly from Stoic sources. What is more, in this organismic ideology their juridical mind was quick to make certain statements more precise and some details more elaborate. Thus Cicero presented a passage attributed to Zeno in the following syllogistic pattern: "Nothing that is without a soul and reason can generate of itself anything endowed with life and reason; the world however generates beings with soul and reason; therefore the world is itself living and possessed of mind."4

Deacon's Bench St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church 4536 St. Paul Blvd. Rochester, New York 14617 e-Mail Augustine of Hippo ranks high among the saints of God: a man whose influence among us as a person, churchman, philosopher and theologian, still runs strong. One reason why he is so admired, I am sure, is that he was a sinner before he became a saint. This offers encouragement to the rest of us sinners. Augustine was a native of Tagaste in Numidia, a Roman colony on the Mediterranean coast of Africa. (He was not a black, as some people have concluded because of his "African" origin.) The father was Patricius, a pagan. The mother was Monica, a Christian whom we venerate as Saint Monica. She bore several children. Her exemplary Christian faith eventually led to the deathbed conversion of Patricius. However, her brilliant son Augustine, although enrolled as a catechumen for baptism, and taught Christian basics by Monica, drifted away from Christian faith and morality, and caused her years of pain by his thought-style and life-style. Augustine was to admit to all this years later in his famous spiritual autobiography, the

    Extractions: Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel Augustine of Hippo (354-430) envisioned a form of religious community life in which the members would "live in harmony, being united in mind and heart intent upon God." He wrote a Rule outlining the basic principles of this sort of life. Today Augustinians and many other religious orders and congregations still use this Rule as their guide. A Bishop in Hippo (near modern-day Annaba, Algeria), Augustine was an influential leader in the African Church. As Christians were growing in their knowledge of God and Christ, Augustine helped to shape Christian theological teachings, particularly those about the role of Divine Grace and the nature of the Holy Trinity. In the process, he combatted many theological errors. The son of Monica, a holy Christian, and Patricius, a pagan, Augustine was born in 354 in Tagaste (now known as Souk Ahras, Algeria). He was educated in the best secular schools of his day. As a young man, he led a distinctly non-Christian and immoral life. He lived with a young woman without the benefit of marriage. Together they had a son, Adeodatus. The young Augustine was continually searching with a restless heart for meaning in life. Each time that he would be attracted to a particular philosophy or group, he would become disillusioned the more familiar he became with its thought.

    Extractions: by Gary Thomas Augustine is a giant in Christian history, arguably one of the five most influential Christians of all time. He was born in 354 and died in 430. His best-known works include The Confessions, The City of God, and On The Trinity. As Augustine grew older he moved to Carthage, but there things went from bad to worse. He writes in his confessions that he found himself "in the midst of a hissing cauldron of lust." He eventually entered a period of uncharacteristic faithfulness to a woman who later bore him a son. The two lived together, but never married. This was a time of "being and becoming" in Augustine's life, as he tried out new philosophies, religions, and possible vocations. He entered a poetry contest (which he won), and flirted with astrology, but quickly dropped it. Augustine's dream was to become a famous speaker, so when he encountered the writings of the renowned pagan writer Cicero, he was riveted and turned his passion toward "the wisdom of eternal truth." His main problem with Christianity at the time was his horror of the Bible's rather blunt "barbarity." He began teaching public speaking at the age of 19, and continued this course until he was 28. His official title was Master of Rhetoric at the Imperial Court. In his confessions, Augustine laments this period as a time when he "was led astray and led others astray."

Saint Augustine is one of the greatest Fathers of the Church. He was an original thinker who became recognized as a remarkable leader of Christian faith. One of the guiding forces in Saint Augustine's life was his Christian mother, Saint Monica.

    Extractions: Hans Urs Von Balthasar SAINT GEORGE'S CATHEDRAL Perth, Western Australia A Sermon preached by The Precentor, Canon Nigel B. Mitchell 27 August 2000 Email the Preacher Tomorrow the Church remembers Saint Augustine of Hippo. There are two great saints of the church called Augustine. Both were Bishops, and both had a huge influence over the church of their day. Indeed, without them the history of the Christian faith, and perhaps the entire western world, would be very different. The saint Augustine who springs to mind most easily for us as Anglicans is Augustine of Canterbury, who was sent by the Bishop of Rome in the middle of the sixth century to convert the Church of England to Roman Catholicism Ð a task in which he succeeded so well that it remained in the Roman Catholic church for nearly a thousand years, before breaking away again during the reign of King Henry the eighth. Although he is important in our history as Anglicans, it is not that saint Augustine we remember today. The other Saint Augustine, Augustine of Hippo, lived about 200 years before Saint Augustine of Canterbury. He was born, raised and educated in the Roman province of Africa, in the parts of the world we know today as Algeria and Tunisia. Augustine's early adulthood was spent in Rome and Milan, where he had a distinguished career as a politician and teacher of philosophy. Like many ambitious people in the Roman empire of his day, Augustine was nominally a Christian, but also flirted with several other religious cults and philosophies. As well, he seems to have devoted quite a bit of his time and energy into chasing after women and attending drinking parties.

Speaking to journalists Thursday in Rome, where he attended the presentation of the film "Mission Cleopatra," Depardieu explained that "it will not be a performance but a way of enriching the faithful worldwide." The actor, who won international recognition with the 1989 film "Cyrano de Bergerac," said the idea came to him two years ago, during a meeting with the Pope. "John Paul II saw me and immediately said, 'St. Augustine,' seeing what he thought was my resemblance to the saint of Hippo," the actor said. Depardieu also is thinking of working with Lux Vide Productions on plans for a film on the saint. Depardieu has discussed this with Cardinal Paul Poupard, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture. The film industry, especially television, is interested in filling spaces it has become its nightmare, the actor told the cardinal during their meeting.
