St Augustine lived a wild and immoral life. At the age of 32 he was converted in answer to his mother’s prayers. Shortly after his conversion he saw a woman he used to know. The moment he saw her he ran away. She called out: ‘Augustine, it’s me! Don’t you recognise me?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I know it’s you, but it’s no longer me!’
