When Pope Leoni XIV (Robert Prevost) was elected, he humbly called himself “un figlio di Sant’Agostino”…a son of Saint Augustine.
With this phrase, he honored the deep spiritual roots that shaped his journey: the inner path, the power of grace, and above all, love as the law of life.
But what does it really mean to follow the spirit of Saint Augustine?
1. “Return to Yourself”
God is not far away, He lives within. Augustinians focus on inner contemplation and self-honesty. The truth is not out there; it’s inside your heart.
2. Love Is the Answer
“Love, and do what you will,” Augustine said. Love is the compass, the map, and the destination. Not rules. Not guilt. Just Love.
3. Together on the Journey
Community matters. Connection matters. We awaken not alone, but together healing in relationship, just like A Course in Miracles teaches.
4. Grace, Not Struggle
We don’t need to prove ourselves. We only need to surrender. Grace does the lifting. All we need is willingness.
5. Thinking with the Heart
Wisdom is not just logic. It’s mystery, beauty, softness. Believe in order to understand and allow your heart to lead the way.
6. Transformation, Gently
Like Augustine, we all walk a path of turning inward. Again and again. Not with force, but with compassion. With love.
And now, we welcome a Pope rooted in this gentle power.
A man of the heart.
A man of unity.
A man of Love.
May Pope Leoni XIV remind the world that grace is real, that love always leads the way, and that the time has come to unite , across all nations, all beliefs, all boundaries.
Let us build a world of togetherness.
Because Love has no borders.
With love and light,
G.
