The Works of St. Ambrose(圖1)-速報App

St. Ambrose in 340 AD was born in France to wealthy Roman parents. When he was older and his father had died, he moved to Rome, where he completed his education, and became a governor. When he was still a catechumen (an unbaptized Christian), the bishop of Milan died and he was selected for the office. At the order of the emperor he was baptised and ordained as the new bishop, an office he would hold until his death.

Once he became the new bishop, he gave away all his wealth and property for church use and to help the poor. He then began a strict ascetic life and devoted himself to his work.

St. Ambrose's preaching quickly became well-known and he attracted many people to his church. He is well-known for his writings in which he explains and defends the true character of the Christian faith. He also expanded on the moral and education requirements of priests.
