Today's Saint: St. Augustine had a formative influence on the early Church as a bishop and was the author of works of apologetics and theology exploring the role of the Christian in the world and refuting popular errors. His Confessions gives an account of his former attachment to sin, his restless spirit as a young man, and his path to the spiritual conversion that lit the fire of his love for God.
