Augustinian Province of Sto. Niño de Cebu – Philippines
“If you want to follow him, turn them into your cross; endure it, carry it, don’t collapse under it.” – Sermon 96,4, St. Augustine
“O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.” – St. Augustine
“Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.” – St. Augustine
“Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.” – St. Augustine
Let them live in the assurance that: “It is a Grace of God that the brothers live in community; it is not the result of their own doing or their own merits; rather it is his gift.”
We, the Filipino Augustinians, are a community of brothers and friends living the ideals of our Holy Father Saint Augustine in oneness of mind and heart intent upon God.
The Philippine Augustinians Development Office Inc. or PADO is the technical support arm of the OSA Philippine Province, established to streamline its programs and systems responsive to the Augustinian’s growth and anchored on the Province’s mission of service and evangelization. It develops technical capability, conceptualizes development projects and promotes sustainable resource mobilization programs to realize the Augustinian mission through collaboration and partnerships with the commissions and other stakeholders. PADO evolved from the Philanthropic Development Office (PDO) in 2013 and became an integral part of the structure of the Province. It is registered with SEC on May 31, 2018 as non-stock, non-profit corporation, and accredited in the same year with DSWD Region 7 as a resource agency on social welfare development programs.
We, who have been freely created and redeemed, freely called and justified, should render thanks to God and carry out our mission in peace and humility, rejoicing in hope and in the expectation of the crown of life (Revelation 2:10), by which God, in rewarding our good deeds, will in fact be doing nothing more than crowning his own gifts.
