Viva il Papa! Today, we joyfully commemorate a historic grace in the life of the Church: one year ago, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, then Fray Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost, OSA was elected as the 267th Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church — the first Augustinian Pope in history.
From the very moment he introduced himself to the world, his words resonated deeply within the Augustinian family: “I am a son of Saint Augustine, an Augustinian.” In those humble yet profound words, Pope Leo XIV revealed not only his identity, but also the spirituality of communion, humility, truth, and charity that flows from the heart of our Holy Father Saint Augustine of Hippo.
As we celebrate the 1st Anniversary of his pontificate, we thank the Lord for the gift of an Augustinian shepherd who continues to guide the Church with wisdom, compassion, and a heart rooted in the spirit of unitas, caritas, et veritas. May Christ, the Good Shepherd, continually strengthen Pope Leo XIV with grace, courage, and peace as he leads God’s people on the journey toward eternal life.
Happy 1st Anniversary of Pontificate, Pope Leo XIV!
Viva il Papa! Viva gli Agostiniani!

FRIDAYS OF LENT: A DAY OF ABSTINENCE
Every Friday of Lent is a sacred invitation to return to the heart. As Catholics, we observe abstinence from meat on Fridays of Lent (for those 14 years old and above) not merely as a rule, but as a spiritual discipline. It is a small sacrifice that unites us to the greater Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross.
Friday reminds us:
• To fast from excess
• To abstain from selfishness
• To crucify our pride
• To choose prayer over comfort
Lent is not just about giving up food, it is about giving back our hearts to God.
May our Friday abstinence lead us to deeper conversion, charity, and love. Let us keep our Fridays simple, prayerful, and penitential.
