St. Ambrose, Servant of God

Reaching 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
