Saint Augustine
Bishop & Doctor of the Church (
430 Anno Domini A.D.) Feast: 28 August
When Augustine was a young man, he was very clever & bright. His mother, Monica , was a good Catholic. But Augustine couldn't be bothered. He didn't want to believe what Christ taught. He knew that what Christ taught was the truth, but he did not want to be good. He led a very wicked life.

All this time, Augustine 's mother, Monica , wept & prayed 
"Make my son a good man," she begged God. "Please make him believe & give up his sins." One day Augustine heard that some of his friends had become Catholics. They were not nearly as bright as he was. "How silly & foolish I am," he thought. "They will go to heaven. But I, to whom God gave such a fine mind, will lose my soul."

Augustine ran to his mother & told her he wished to be good henceforth. She was very glad. So he repented of his sins. He studied to be a priest 
He became a great Bishop ♗ He did penance for his sins. And he wrote many wonderful books about God & the soul & goodness 
He fought untruth & he hated sin. The young man who had been a sinner became the man who was a wise and holy saint.
