Sesari wa Arles (468/47027 Agosti 542) alikuwa mmonaki huko Lerins, halafu Askofu mkuu wa Arles (Ufaransa) miaka 502 - 542.[1]

Sanamu yake huko Arles.

Ingawa hakutaka kwanza kukubali cheo hicho, alijitokeza kuwa askofu bora wa nchi hiyo katika karne ya 6 akaacha maandishi mengi[2][3][4], zikiwemo hotuba zaidi ya 250 ambazo zisomwe na mapadri wakati wa kutoa katekesi kwa waumini na zilihusu hasa maadili katika jitihada zake za kufanya walei pia wafuate maisha ya kiroho kama wamonaki[5][6].

Ndiye aliyesimamia mtaguso wa Orange wa mwaka 529, ambao maamuzi yake yameeneza athari ya Augustino wa Hippo katika mafundisho ya Kanisa la Kilatini kuhusu neema ya Mungu[7].

Pia ndiye wa kwanza katika Ukristo wa Magharibi kuandika kanuni ya kitawa kwa wanawake (512) ili kuwaongoza katima maisha ya kimonaki, mbali na ile kwa wanaume [8].

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Kanisa Katoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu na babu wa Kanisa.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe ya kifo chake.[9]

  7. The most important local council over which Caesarius presided was that of Orange (529). Its statements on the subject of grace and free agency have been eulogized by modern historians (see, e.g., Canon Bright, Church History, ch. xi. ad fin.). The following propositions are laid down in the Council of Orange's canon 25:
    "This also do we believe, in accordance with the Catholic faith, that after grace received through baptism, all the baptized are able and ought, with the aid and co-operation of Christ, to fulfil all duties needful for salvation, provided they are willing to labour faithfully. But that some men have been predestinated to evil by divine power, we not only do not believe, but if there be those who are willing to believe so evil a thing, we say to them with all abhorrence anathema. This also do we profess and believe to our soul's health, that in every good work, it is not we who begin, and are afterwards assisted by Divine mercy, but that God Himself, with no preceding merits on our part, first inspires within us faith and love."
