Devotion to Saint Augustine: prayer that will bring you closer to the Saint!

O holy saint Augustine, you who famously declared that "Our hearts were made for you and are restless until they rest in you". Help me in my quest for our Lord that through your intercession the wisdom may be granted to determine the purpose God has planned. Pray that I have the courage to follow God's will even in moments when I don't understand. Ask our Lord to lead me to a life worthy of His love, so that one day I can share in the riches of His kingdom.

Ask our Lord and Savior to ease the burden of my problems and fulfill my special intention, and I will honor you all my days. Beloved Saint Augustine, the miracles you have performed for the greater glory of God have caused people to ask for your intercession for their most pressing concerns. Hear my cries as I call on your name to ask God for greater faith and to help me in my present distress. (Indicate the nature of your problem or the special favor you seek) Glorious Saint Augustine I boldly ask for your intercession confident in your boundless wisdom.

May this devotion lead me to a life dedicated to the fulfillment of God's will. One day may it be deemed worthy to share His Kingdom with you and all the saints for all eternity. St. Augustine was baptized at Easter in 387 AD and became one of the most important defenders of the faith. Upon his conversion, he sold his possessions and lived a life of poverty, service to the poor and prayer until the end of his life.

He founded the Order of St. Augustine, which continued his early works to educate the faithful. His search for truth led to his clear explanations of Roman Catholic beliefs. Including theological writings on creation, original sin, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and biblical interpretation.
