St Ambrose Bishop of Milan (337-397)

                                                  Isaiah 6:8 



heard 
the voice 
of the 
Lord
saying, 
“Whom 
  shall 
  I send?
  And who 
  will go for us?"  And I said, 
                         "Here am I; send me"




Ambrose was busy 
advocating peace 
between 2opposing 
factions in the con-
tentious election 
of a new Bishop 
of Milan. Sudden-
ly they all  decided
that he was their
 guy, and both 
sides started yel-
ling Ambrose shall 
be our bishop!”  
The only trouble 
was he wasn’t 
even baptized, 
much less a 
presbyter, so 
they quickly
baptized him and, on Decem-ber 7, 373  St
Ambrose-to-be
was consecrated their Bishop.
