This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, The Confessions.
It focuses specifically on his discussion of the childhood, adulthood, and final days of his mother Monica in book 9 of the work. She prayer for Augustine throughout his life, and got to see him eventually convert to Christianity and join the church. Her own life was marked by putting into practice the precepts of her own faith consistently.
