AB - The question, ‘Can Christian overcome the avarice completely and readily?’ is the driving force of this research. Especially, this research is related to the meaning of social sanctification. With this sense, this paper seeks an alternative for overcoming of avarice from the perspective of St. Augustine’s Confessiones, Ⅹ. Most of all, this research concentrates on the self-portrait of Augustinen after he converted Christianity and appointed the Bishop of Hippo in Confessiones, Ⅹ. Interestingly, Augustine was still facing to many avarice, for example, gluttony, desire for honor, and sexual impulse(libido), etc. At the same time, Augustine accepted the commandment of the Bible on continence of avarice(1 John 2:16) and sought the way of overcoming the avarice. In this meaning, Confessiones shows three stages of continence as follows: ‘cupiditas sine caritas’(past), ‘minus caritas’( present), and caritas sine cupiditas(future). According to Augustine, continence of the persistent avarice is not a natural process according to aging but a sanctification empowered by Holy Spirit. Also, this paper puts forward two ethical tasks of Christian in the times of avarice as follows; (1)rediscovering of sanctification as an ethical task, (2)enhancing the concern for social sanctification. Not only should Christians recover the moral consciousness, as found in the concern for sanctification of Reformation, but, Christians in a ages of global avarice should also play a role as a reformer of social morality in terms of the concept of social sanctification.
