The Patron Saint of the TFCC
Saint Augustine of HippoAurelius Augustinus, Augustine of Hippo ("The knowledgeable one") (November 13, 354-August 28, 430) is a saint and the pre-eminent Doctor of the Church according to Roman Catholicism, and is considered by Evangelical Protestants to be (together with the Apostle Paul) the theological fountainhead of the Reformation teaching on salvation and grace. He was the eldest son of Saint Monica. Works of Saint Augustine, an African by birth, a Roman by education, a Milanese by baptism, still inspire many Christians all over the world who follow the path of faith. (From Wikipedia.) The Prayer of St. AugustineO God you are the light of the minds that know you;
the joy of the hearts that love you;
and the strength of the wills that serve you.
Grant us so to know you, that we may truly love you
and so to love you that we may fully and freely serve you;
whose service is perfect freedom.
In and through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
