St. Augustine of Hippo
is the patron of brewers because of his conversion from a former life of
loose living, which included parties, entertainment, and worldly ambitions.
His complete turnaround and conversion has been an inspiration to many who
struggle with a particular vice or habit they long to break.
This famous son of St. Monica was born in Africa and spent many
years of his life in wicked living and in false beliefs. Though he was one of
the most intelligent men who ever lived and though he had been brought up a
Christian, his sins of impurity and his pride darkened his mind so much, that
he could not see or understand the Divine Truth anymore. Through the prayers of his holy mother and the marvelous preaching of
St. Ambrose, Augustine finally became convinced that Christianity was the
one true religion.
Ambrose baptized
Augustine, along with his son Adeodatus, on Easter Vigil in 387 in Milan. A
year later, in 388, Augustine completed his apology On the Holiness of the Catholic
Church. That year, also, Adeodatus and Augustine returned to Africa,
Augustine's home country, during which trip Augustine's mother Monica died.
He was baptized, became a priest, a bishop,
a famous Catholic writer, Founder of religious priests, and one of the
greatest saints that ever lived. He became very devout and charitable, too.
On the wall of his room he had the following sentence written in large
letters: "Here we do not speak
evil of anyone." St. Augustine overcame strong heresies, practiced
great poverty and supported the poor, preached very often and prayed with
great fervor right up until his death. "Too late have I loved You!"
he once cried to God, but with his holy life he certainly made up for the
sins he committed before his conversion. His
feast day is August 28th.
