Saint Augustine: Patron Saint of the Theologians

Aurelius Augustinus or Catholic Saint Augustine was first a foremost a theologian and was once the bishop of Hippo of North Africa. He is popularly called the Patron Saint of Theologians. If one is to talk about how Christianity of the West developed, Saint Augustine should be a major figure on this religious development. In fact, this Catholic saint is the one who conceptualized the original sin as well as the just war. He is likewise known as the Patron Saint of Brewers.

Short Prayer to Saint Augustine


Beloved Catholic Saint of our generation, you are once human-centered and worked towards false teachings. In God’s Grace, you are converted to Christianity. You finally became a theologian, loving, preaching and centering your attention to the Lord God.

Provide your great assistance to your fellow theologians in their way to the truth and its study. Help them to follow always the Catholic Church as they try to really strive in communicating the traditional way of teaching via a modern form, a new way to help appeal to the modern, contemporary Christian man.

Amen.
