Augustine of Hippo (in modern-day Algeria), was a man who learned to love from the heart and empower others to do the same. He lived in the fourth century and made a huge contribution to the understanding of the Christian faith, which continues to be relevant and helpful today.
In his autobiographical work, he tells the honest story of the restless searching of his heart for fulfillment in various ways over a long period, which many have identified with their own search for happiness.
His experience of finally finding that happiness in encountering the love of God laid the foundation for his understanding of the nature of God, as well as the nature of man.
Augustine also contributed to many other areas of Christian thought and is one of the most quoted church fathers in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
