ROME– ROME (AP)– Pope Leo XIV applauded the merit of paying attention prior to talking as he obtained an honor Thursday from his Augustinian spiritual order in the USA on the feast day of St. Augustine.
Leo reflected on peace, solution and St. Augustine throughout a video clip message to his fellow American Augustinians collected in Philly, near Leo’s university, Villanova College.
The previous Robert Prevost, that was two times chosen the premium of the spiritual order, thanked his brothers for the honor and declared that “A lot of that I am I owe to the spirit and the trainings of Saint Augustine.”
Leo has actually stated from the beginning of his preach that he is a “kid of St. Augustine” and he has actually instilled his speeches, discourses and messages with the saint’s trainings and worths.
The 5th century St. Augustine of Hippo influenced the 13th century spiritual Augustinian order as an area of “mendicant” friars, whose spirituality is rooted in a deep indoor life of petition, staying in neighborhood, and travelling with each other looking for reality in God.
Leo remembered the Augustinian adage in Latin: “veritas, unitas, caritas” (reality, unity, love) in discussing just how he lives his confidence and occupation.
” Tranquility starts with what we state and do and just how we state and do it. Saint Augustine advises us that prior to we talk, we initially need to pay attention,” he stated.
The video clip was videotaped while the pope got on trip in Castel Gandolfo this summertime, and was being broadcast at the occasion arranged by the Philly branch of Augustinians called the Saint Thomas of Villanova district.
Individuals that recognize Leo state he speaks with extensively and pays attention prior to taking choices, yet is crucial once he has actually composed his mind. He hardly ever talks off-the-cuff, choosing to check out from ready messages.
