St. Agustine and His Path to Christianity

As a teenager, many people experience different lifestyle changes and they understand their true nature. Parents often refer to these instance phases. As a teenager, Saint Augustine sent an unethical lifestyle. He was the son of a pagan father and Christian's mother, but Saint Augustine experienced life in his own way. Contradictory beliefs and cultural values ​​have helped him grow up from past evil ways and become one of the most influential Christian supporters.

St. Augustine (354-430 AD) is the greatest Latin godfather of the church, the basic person of the Western Christian civilization. He was born in Tagasto near Hippo in North Africa. His mother, Santa Monica, is a devout Christian and teaches him faith. However, when he studied Carthaginian rhetoric, he began a secular life. He gained status as a master's degree in rhetoric in Milan, accompanied by an unnamed woman and child Adeodatus born from marriage in 372. Soon he and their son, Monica joined them in Milan. With his mother's constant prayer and the influence of St. Ambrose in Milan, he ultimately converted to 32 years old in the year CE. Perhaps the most convincing conscience check can be found in Saint Augustine's confession, where he explains the moment of conversion in the garden when he turned to St. Paul to the Romans, but the Lord I did not regulate anything about the desire of the flesh putting Jesus Christ
