                             (347–404), Jerome asks prayers of his deceased
                            friend. Cf. Ep. 108, To Eustochium, (AD 404) (Par. 34 in PL 22.906; Par.

                                Dissidentium (2.N8v) cites a passage where Augustine urges
                            restraint in honoring saints. Cf. On True
                                Religion (AD 390) 55.108 (CCL 32.256); in Augustine: Earlier Writings, tr. John H.S. Burleigh, LCC 6

                            3.126–27n2) cites a more affirmative  passage from Augustine,
                            not included in Unio, approving prayers to
                            saints. Cf. On the Care to Be Had for the Dead
                            (AD c421) 4.6 (PL 40.596; 1NPNF 3.542).
                        Testimonies from Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine on prayer to the saints
                            are given by P. Séjourné, "Saints (culte des)," Dictionnaire de Théologie catholique, 14 (1939) 905–15. Recent
                            expositions are found in Peter Brown, The Cult of the
