Saint of the day and spiritual life #Saint Ambroise

Saint Ambrose was born around 340 in Trier (present-day Germany) into a noble and influential Christian family. Trained in law, he became a lawyer, then governor of the Roman province of Emilia-Liguria, of which Milan was the capital. In 374, he discovered Jesus Christ. He was still only a catechumen when, passing through his city, he was elected bishop by acclamation of the people. He was then immediately baptized, ordained a priest, and consecrated bishop in a short time.
