Saint of the day and spiritual life #Augustin

Saint Augustine (354–430) is one of the most prominent figures of Latin Christianity. Born in Thagaste (present-day Souk Ahras in Algeria) to a devout Christian mother, Saint Monica, and a pagan father, he received a solid education in rhetoric and philosophy. At a very young age, he turned away from the Christian faith to devote himself to a worldly life and the search for truth in various philosophies, notably Manichaeism.

Saint Augustin de Cantorbéry est un moine bénédictin, vivant à Rome au VIe siècle. Son aventure débuta lorsque le Pape Grégoire Ier l’envoya évangéliser en en Angleterre avec une quarantaine de moines de saint Benoît.

Born around 950 in the Kingdom of Armenia, Saint Gregory of Narek is a major figure in Armenian Christian spirituality. A theologian, monk, poet and mystic of the 10th century, he was recognized as a Doctor of the Church by Pope Francis in 2015.
