聖安博主教（聖師）
聖人於公元340年左右，出生於特里爾城（今德國）一個羅馬望族。
聖人在羅馬讀書。370年，任兩區總督，駐扎米蘭。374年，米蘭主教出缺，為物色主教，亞略派與正統派，在主教座堂大起爭執。聖人作為總督，前往安撫，有小孩大喊「安博、主教」；於是， 眾望所歸，聖人因他的威望，及持守正統信仰，而被選為主教； 12月7日晉牧。
聖人放棄家中一切，專心牧養主的羊群。他熟讀聖經和教父作品，善於講道。他的祈禱和講道，以及他所寫的聖詩等，影響當地禮儀發展；今日米蘭地區所舉行的禮儀，也稱為「安博禮」。
聖人在任時克盡牧職，尤以愛德為著，成為信眾真實的司牧與導師。著作等身，道理純正，竭力維護教會權利，攻斥邪說。
公元397年4月4日，聖週五安逝。
集禱經
天主，你揀選了聖安博，成為大公信仰的導師，及使徒英勇的楷模；求你在教會內，興起合你心意的人，以智慧和勇毅的精神，去治理教會。因你的聖子、我們的主耶穌基督，他和你及聖神，是唯一天主，永生永王。 亞孟。
Saint Ambrose, Bishop and Doctor of the Church
St. Ambrose (340-397) was born in Trier, Germany. He was educated in Rome, where he studied law, literature and rhetoric. St. Ambrose received a place on the council and was made the Governor of Liguria and Emilia around 372. St. Ambrose’s headquarters were in Milan, Italy.
After the former Bishop of Milan died, St. Ambrose attended the election to prevent any uproars between the Nicene Church and the Arians. While giving an address, the assembly began calling for him to become the next bishop. Within a week’s time, St. Ambrose was baptized, ordained and duly consecrated bishop of Milan on December 7, 374.
He distinguished himself through apostolic zeal, service to the poor, and effective care of the faithful. An articulate opponent of Arianism in the West, he converted and baptized St. Augustine.
Collect
O God, who made the Bishop Saint Ambrose
a teacher of the Catholic faith
and a model of apostolic courage,
raise up in your Church men after your own heart
to govern her with courage and wisdom.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
