E noi iā SANTA MONICA e noi e hāʻawi i kahi lokomaikaʻi

ʻO kāna wahine a me ka makuahine o nā pono evangalelika maikaʻi ʻole, ka mea a ke Akua Maikaʻi i hāʻawi mai ai i ke aloha, ma o kāna hilinaʻi ʻole ʻole i mua o kēlā me kēia pilikia a me kāna pule mau loa, e ʻike i kāna kāne Patrizio a me kāna kāne ʻo Augustine i hoʻohuli ai, hoʻopili a alakaʻi iā mākou, e nā wahine mare. a me nā makuahine ma kā mākou huakaʻi paʻakikī e hele ai i ka hemolele. ʻO Santa Monica, ʻo ʻoe ka mea i hiki i nā puʻu o nā Mea kiʻekiʻe loa, mai kahi mālama ākea a hoʻāliʻi ʻia no mākou e ʻoli i ka lepo ma waena o hoʻokahi mau tausani a me kahi mau pilikia. Hāʻawi mākou i kā mākou mau keiki iā ʻoe, e hana iā lākou i kope kope o ko Augustine a hāʻawi iā mākou i ka hauʻoli e noho pū me lākou i nā manawa koʻikoʻi nui e like me kou noho ʻana ma Ostia, e hui pū ai i kou wahi. E hoiliili i ko makou waimaka, inu i ka wahie o ke kea o ko kakou Iesu e lawelawe nui ai na lani a me na mana mau. E pule a Santa Monica no mākou a pau. ʻAno!

 

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Monica i 331 ma Tagaste, ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Numidia, i kēia lā Souk-Ahras (Algeria) i loko o kahi ʻohana Kristiano maikaʻi o ka hoʻokele waiwai. Ua ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e aʻo ae lawe iā ia e heluhelu i ka Baibala a noʻonoʻo pono ai.
Ua mare ʻo Patrizio, ʻo ka mea nona ka Tagasta waiwai haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole naʻe i bapetizo ʻia, ʻaʻole maikaʻi kona ʻano, a nāna hoʻi i kuhi hewa, me kāna ʻoluʻolu a me ke ʻano i hiki iā ia ke lanakila i ka ʻehaʻeha.
Ua hānau ʻo ia i kāna keiki hiapo ʻo Agostino ma 354. He keikikane hou kāna, ʻo Naviglio, a me kāna kaikamahine i ʻike ʻole ʻia kona inoa. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā mea ʻekolu i kahi aʻo Kristiano.

I ka makahiki 371 ua hoʻohuli ʻo Patrizio i Kristiano a ua bapetizo ʻia; e make ana ʻo ia i kēia makahiki aʻe. He 39 mau makahiki ʻo Monica a pono e lawe i ka hoʻokele o ka hale a me ka hoʻokele o nā waiwai. Ua ʻehaʻeha loa ʻo ia no ka hana moekolohe a Augustine. I kona neʻe ʻana i Roma, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e ukali iā ia, akā ua haʻalele ʻo ia iā ia me ka hana hoʻopunipuni i uka ma Carthage, ʻoiai lākou e holo ana i Roma.

Ma ia pō ua moe ʻo Monica ma waimaka ma ka hale kupapaʻu o St. ʻoiai i hoʻopunipuni ʻia ʻo ia, ʻaʻole naʻe ia i hāʻawi pio a hoʻomau mau i kāna hana no ka hoʻohuli o kāna keiki.
Ma ka makahiki 385 ua hoʻomaka pū ʻo ia a hui pū me ia i Milan, ma kahi mau manawa, ua hoʻowahāwahā ʻia ʻo Agostino e ka hana kolohe i ka Manicheans ma Roma.
Ma aneʻi ua loaʻa iā Monica ka ʻoluʻolu e ʻike iā ia e hele ana i ke kula o S. Ambrogio, ka pīpī o Milan a laila hoʻomākaukau iā lākou no ka bapetizo me ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa, me kāna kaikaina ʻo Navigio a me kāna hoa aloha ʻo Alipio; no laila ua pane ʻia kāna mau pule. ʻ saidlelo mai ke kuhina o Tagaste iā ia, "He hiki ʻole ke nalowale i ke keiki o nā waimaka he nui."

Ua noho ʻo Monica ma ka ʻaoʻao o kāna keikikāne e aʻo ʻana iā ia i kāna mau kānalua a i ka hopena, ma ka pō Poʻa, ʻApelila 25, 387, ua hiki iā ia ke ʻike pū me ia me ka ʻohana o ka ʻohana. I kēia manawa i ke kūlana koʻikoʻi a Christian, ʻaʻole i hiki iā Augustine ke noho ma ka kūlana mare. Wahi a ke kānāwai Roma, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke mare i kāna kauwā wahine cohabiting, no ka mea, he papa haʻahaʻa, a ma ka hopena, me ke ʻōlelo a Monica, ʻōpio a makemake nui ʻoe i ka noho ʻana o kāna keiki, ua hoʻoholo ʻia ʻo ia e hoʻomau, me ka ʻae aku, ʻo ka 'he kauwā wahine ma Africa, ʻo Agostino e hoʻolako iā ia a no kāna keiki Adeodato, i noho pū me ia ma Milan.
I kēia manawa ua manaʻo ʻo Monica ua hiki iā ia ke loaʻa i ka wahine mare wahine i kūpono i ka hana, akā ua hoʻoholo ʻo Agostino, i kona aloha nui a hoʻokipa, no ka hoʻoholo ʻana e mare hou, akā e hoʻi hou i ʻAmelika e ola i ka ola monical, ʻoiai ua loaʻa ka mōʻī.

A laila ʻike mākou iā ia ma hope o kāna keiki ma Cassiciaco, kokoke i Milan, e kūkākūkā ana me ia me nā ʻuhane a me nā ʻohana ʻē aʻe, a me ke komo ʻana me ka naʻauao i nā ʻōlelo, a hiki i kahi i makemake ai ʻo Augustine e kākau i ka ʻōlelo a kona makuahine i loko o kāna mau kākau. ʻAʻole like kēia me he mea lā, no ka mea ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia nā wahine e ʻōlelo i kēlā manawa.

Me Agostino ua haʻalele ʻo ia iā Milan no Roma, a laila i Ostia, kahi i hoʻolimalima ai i kahi hale, e kali ana no kahi moku e haʻalele ai i ʻApelika. He wā piha ia o nā kamaʻilio ʻuhane, kahi a ʻAukake i hōʻike mai ai iā mākou i loko o kāna Confcepts.
Maʻi ʻo ia i maʻi ai, malaria paha, a make, i ʻeiwa mau lā, i ka 27 ʻAukake 387 i ka makahiki 56. Ua kanu ʻia kona kino i loko o ka hale pule o SantʻAurea di Ostia.
Ma ka lā 9 ʻApelila, 1430 ua neʻe ʻia kāna mau mea i Roma i ka hale pule o S. Trifone, i kēia lā ʻo S. Agostino, a hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o kahi sarcophagus koʻikoʻi, ka hana a ʻIsaia o Pisa (XV mau makahiki).
Hoʻolaha ka ʻaha Katolika Katolika i kāna hoʻomanaʻo i ka lā 27 ʻAukake (ma mua o ka hana ʻia i ka lā 4 Mei), ka lā ma mua o St.
