December 7
St. Ambrose, Servant of God
eaching Milan,
I found your devoted servant Ambrose, who was known throughout the world
as a man whom there were few to equal in goodness.
Unknown to me, it was you who led me to him, so that I might knowingly be led by him to you.
-- Confessions 5, 13
Prayer. Let me now seek you, O Lord, calling upon you. And let me call upon you, believing in you, for you have been preached to us. My faith calls upon you--a faith that you have inspired in me by the Incarnation of your Son through the ministry of your preacher.
-- Confessions 1, 1
