Saint Augustine is seated at the back of the apse, encircled by his priests, preaching for Lent and the days of Holy Week. With lively eloquence, warm and informal, he instructs the candidates for Baptism through their initiation rites (the renouncement of Satan, the tradition the Creed and of Our Father). Day after day, he celebrates the Passion and Resurrection of Christ and announces the good news of salvation: the Son of God became man that men might become the sons of God. He comments on the rites and symbols, the bread and the wine, which will sustain the new life and allow men to share in true happiness.
