St. Augustine of Hippo -- died August 28, 430 under siege -- ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY

 St. Augustine of Hippo died in

Hippo Regius (North Africa)

of a fever during the area's

siege by invading Vandal army;

he asked that the Pentential

Psalms be written on the walls

of his room and he prayed them

as he lay dying.

The bishop's last words were:

Your will be done; come, Lord

Jesus!
