Confession of Blessed Augustine, Bishop of Hippon; Blessed Monica. Mother of Blessed Augustine. AB

The collection includes two books - “The Confession of the Blessed Augustine, Bishop of the Hippon” and the biography of Blessed Monica called “Blessed Monica. Mother of Blessed Augustine. " "Confession" is considered the first example of autobiography in European literature. It covers part of the life path of Blessed Augustine (33 years of about 40 by him by the time of writing) and contains a narrative about his spiritual search. Blessed Monica is revered as the patroness of mothers. Her constant prayer for her son, Blessed Augustine, saved him from spiritual death. Over time, he became one of the greatest fathers of the Church and gratefully wrote that he owed his appeal to Christianity to the prayers of his mother.
