EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Saint Ambrose of Milano, Italy, is depicted in his bishop's robes, holding a book and a crozier, surrounded by the hallowed atmosphere of a medieval Italian church. Saint Ambrose, born in 339 AD, was a highly influential early Christian bishop and doctor of the Church. He is best known for his role in the conversion of St. Augustine of Hippo and his steadfast defense of the faith against the Arian heresy. Born into a noble Roman family in Trier, Germany, Ambrose was initially destined for a career in politics. However, after the sudden death of his brother Saturninus, Ambrose was ordained bishop of Milano in 374 AD, despite his lack of formal theological training. Undeterred by his lack of experience, Ambrose quickly established himself as a formidable leader and defender of orthodox Christianity. One of Ambrose's most notable achievements was his role in the conversion of St. Augustine, who was at the time a prominent philosopher and skeptic. Through a series of encounters and sermons, Ambrose was able to plant the seeds of faith in Augustine's heart, leading him to embrace Christianity and become one of the most influential theologians in history. Despite facing numerous challenges, including political opposition and threats from Arians, Ambrose remained steadfast in his faith and dedication to the Church. He was a prolific writer and preacher, and his sermons and writings continue to inspire and inform Christian theology to this day. Saint Ambrose died in Milano in 397 AD, leaving behind a rich legacy of faith and leadership. This image captures the essence of his enduring influence and the reverence in which he is held by the Christian community.
