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.

Old habits must be replaced with new ones, if you can go a month with Jesus being your sole focus every time you get tempted, you can go the rest of your life with this sin defeated. Make a new habit, set a new record, avoid things that tempt you like the plague, protect your self like you would protect a child, set a new desire, a desire to be closer to God and have your heart set free. Life is all about overcoming struggles and persevere! For Jesus loves you and picks you up every time you fall. Keep running in faith. We are made new in Christ.

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.

@anastylos2812

Thank you for recommending St. Therese of Lisieux. I often think that anyone who has no doubts has not really understood Christianity. God becoming human and sacrificing himself? That's quite much to accept. But that's why I think it has to be true. If men had invented it they would have invented something more logical and easy to accept. Or how St. Augustine said it: If you understand it it's not God.

Thank you for bringing in my name saint, Monica, who wad not given the credit she deserved for patience, forbearance and never ending example that a strong mother of a miscreant son, never losing hope for his redemption. She followed Augustine through his debauchery (who is this illegitimate child?) until he overcame his wastrel ways & Monica must have been mightily relieved at his eventual! transformation. Yet, he STILL sanctified the concept of ORIGINAL SIN... to excuse himself from his decades of profligate ways? Sure, blame the woman, thereby cementing his own mother's blameless guilt: ORIGINAL SIN. blamelessness,

What I love about Augustine is he is so real, he is so approachable. His life and experiences are really not much different than our own - leaving home, studying, screwing around, ambitions. Very relatable.

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.

Orthodox here. St. Augustine is my patron saint. ☦️

I am Eastern Orthodox and he is my Patron Saint. St. Agustine, pray for us.

I recently became a Catholic, I’m 16 and my religious journey has been quite a long one, but in January this year I came to my local Catholic Church and eventually was baptised and confirmed and received the Eucharist on the easter vigil, I try to go to mass every day now and I actually miss going to mass during the day😂 I’m so glad I came to Catholicism

He's one of my favorite saints, along with St. Ignatius of Loyola! Great sinners truly can be great saints. St. Augustine, pray for us!
