Received baptism from St. Ambrose, in Milan, in 387 s. Augustine returned to Africa to implement its plan to monastic life. "Upon receiving the baptismal grace - is his biographer, s. Possidius says that - decided to return with his friends and fellow citizens, postisi like him to serve God in Africa, to their homes and their fields. There he released after his goods, lived there about three years, and lived for God with those who had joined him in fasting, prayer, good deeds, in the meditations, night and day, the law of the Lord. Even when he became bishop in 395, and then throughout their lives, lived from Monaco, while haunted by the many pastoral pursuits and propagated by every means the religious life throughout Africa Christian.
At his death in 430, the biographer continues, "Augustine Church left the monasteries and convents, full of servants of God, with their superiors, along with well-stocked libraries of books." The first Roman invasion of Africa by the Vandals and the Arabs destroyed the Augustinian monastic foundations. Among the monasteries that the African-inspired considers fundamentally Augustinian Order, is of particular importance to Gafsa in Tunisia for the martyrdom of his religious deacon Boniface, Abbot Freed, Severus, Rustic, Rogato, Septimus and Maximus monks. Following the edict issued in 484 by King Unnerico ordering delivery from the Moors of the monasteries and their inhabitants, the seven men of that monastery were imprisoned and, after having endured bitter trials, were martyred in Carthage, offering a great example of faith and fraternal union. Their celebration was awarded the Order on June 6 1671st the liturgical memorial on August 26.The life we ??are told by Life Fulgencio S. Shining, composed in 533 and attributed to his disciple, the Carthaginian deacon Ferrando, who died in 546 or so.
He came from the wealthy family of Roman Gordian settled in Carthage, and was born here in 467. Mariana's mother cared for with diligence the Christian education and cultural development of his two sons, and F. soon proved especially lively intelligence and a good memory even at a young age by his mother was put in charge of managing the administration of family property, and soon he was given the post of procurator of his province taxes. He had secured a comfortable life, devoted to the care of earthly goods and not without sophistication. His faith and love for the study, however, kept him well anchored to the study of the Bible, and it was this reading to make him a saint born in the heart of concerns about the conduct of life slowly began to move away from worldly life and its circle of friends. The final step, however, only came after the reading of Augustine's commentary on Psalm 36, which convinced him to give himself completely to asceticism: he wore the monastic habit at first to live at home while remaining devoted to the common family and administrative occupations, and then completing the gift of himself and entered the monastery of Fausto, where F. laid the foundations of his ascetic setting.
The persecution of Unnerico Fausto did disperse the community, and F. is inserted in a nearby monastery, the Abbot Felice, which gradually became trusted collaborator, to divide the abbey authorities. The continuous invasions and pitfalls of the Aryans also forced the community of Happy in constant movement: Fulgentius was imprisoned with his brother, and after their release had to tackle other adventures.
Attracted by the perfect solitude of the desert by reading the works of Cassian, he traveled to Egypt, but was dissuaded from his purpose for the heresies that snaked in the land of hermits. He spent a pilgrim to Rome relations with famous people and shook with the later of which they establish a correspondence. He was ordained a bishop in 502 Scrapers. He was exiled twice in Sardinia. He founded monasteries at home and in exile and was always torn between the life cenobitic and the yearning for total solitude. From his writings reflected his passion for Augustine's thought: his ideal of monastic life harks back 'to the point that to be called Augustinian "Augustinus breviatus". He, like Augustine, ruled his small diocese of graders on the monastic style. In fact, the cathedral church had erected a new monastery, where he lived in poverty, devoting much of his time to prayer and to the composition of choral works, doctrinal and pastoral. Father and shepherd of his flock, and donate all its revenue to the poor. He had strong aptitude for preaching: it is said that the bishop of Carthage, in the basilica of hearing him preach Furnos, wept with emotion. He died in the first graders' January 527. The Augustinian Order celebrates his feast (now set at January 3) at least since 1581.
