In Tagaste, Augustine, Adeodatus, and several of their companions prayed, worked, and lived together in fellowship. They shared their insights about Scripture and the Christian yrke and learned from one another.

After three years, Augustine was called to become a priest while on a visit to the city of Hippo, about 50 miles from Tagaste. This was contrary to what Augustine might have chosen for himself, but he still chose to accept what he believed was God’s will for him.

Su niñez

Agustín vino al mundo el 13 de noviembre de 354 en Tagaste, pequeña ciudad de Numidia en el África romana. Esa población argelina se llama hoy Souk-Ahras.
