Saint Augustine teaches us lessons of humility, perseverance, and the transformative power of grace. Despite his early years spent in sensual pursuits and intellectual pride, his restless heart yearned for truth. His mother’s unwavering prayers and his own searching spirit ultimately led him to surrender in humility to God’s call. In his moment of conversion, Augustine’s story reminds us that no soul is beyond redemption and that true wisdom begins in humility before God.  

This series contains moments of intensity and fear. Augustine struggles with his passionate nature and against carnal pleasures. He is depicted in a non-Christian relationship, with their child. A gladiator fight can be overheard. Voices are raised in argument. A character dies of illness. A boy is separated from his mother. A government persecution of the church is portrayed.
