The light to illuminate a Christian's understanding comes through the inccoruptible seed of God word by which all men are born again after..Light does not come through the various commentaries of men after mens personal biases, that have to do with sacramentalism

Mr. Augustine  is dead and no longer has any part in anything that goes on under the sun. It's the Catholics that must practice necromancy as their way of pretending they can commune with the dead. Should not a people seek unto their God exclusively through His living word,  the scriptures ? for the living to the dead?

Do Mr. Augustine's commentaries carry a higher authority than a more recent commentary of someones gleaning the scriptures, to learn what God says as they do seek his approval according to the perfect law of God that informs us to??

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.Isa 8:19

Note.....familiar spirits,.... Patron saints. Thirty-five hundred and rising at a increased speed.
