In his youth, he pursued worldly pleasures and fame, and distanced himself from faith, but behind him, there was always the devout mother, Saint Monica's fervent prayers. Monica continued to pray to God with tears for her son's conversion, and eventually, her prayers were answered. In 386 AD, Augustine felt the voice of God saying, "Take and read," and opened the Bible, awakening to a deep faith in Christ. He was baptized with his mother, and Monica was called to heaven in that joy. After that, he wrote many works as a priest and then as the Bishop of Hippo, and guided the church. In his autobiography, "Confessions," and "The City of God," his confusion, suffering, and the path of conversion through God's grace are described, and they still resonate with the hearts of many people today. Augustine is the greatest Western ancient Church Father, who had a great influence on the world of thought both inside and outside Christianity. "Love, and do what you will" (Words of Saint Augustine) The current Pope Leo XIV is from the Augustinian Order (a religious order based on the rule of Saint Augustine), which was born based on the spirituality and teachings of Saint Augustine. This order, which is based on the importance of communal life and living in prayer and love, continues to support believers around the world to this day.
