Augustine takes the child’s voice he hears in the Milan garden to mean:
that he should convert
that he is a sinner
that he should consult the Bible
that he is not yet truly humble
Augustine was sent to school at Madaurus, a small Numidian city about 19 miles south of Thagaste where he became familiar with Latin literature, as well as pagan beliefs and practices. His first insight into the nature of sin occurred when he and a number of friends stole fruit they did not want from a neighborhood garden. He tells this story in his autobiography, Confessions. He remembers that he did not steal the fruit because he was hungry, but because “it was not permitted.” His very nature, he says, was flawed. “It was foul, and I loved it. I loved my own error—not that for which I erred, but the error itself.” From this incident he concluded the human person is naturally inclined to sin, and are in need of the grace of Christ. How old was St. Augustine when all these things happened?
