In the One, we are one: St. Augustine of Hippo is the patron saint of converts to Christianity, printers. and theologians. He became a priest at 36 and a bishop at 41.
Pope Leo XIV also has a connection to this saint, as he is the first pope from the Order of St. Augustine, a religious order whose values and spirituality are linked to St. Augustine of Hippo.
Furthering the connection, Pope Leo’s episcopal motto, “In Illo uno unam,” meaning “In the One, we are one,” is a direct quote from St. Augustine’s writings on Psalm 127, reflecting unity in Christ.
St. Augustine of Hippo, pray for us!
