The Augustinian Recollects are launching a special campaign to live the month of St. Augustine as an opportunity to share their spirituality, charism and mission in the digital continent.
A month to return to the Master within
“August with A for Augustine” is more than a slogan. It is an invitation. To pause, to return to the heart, to listen to the inner Master, as Saint Augustine so often proposed to us. Throughout the month, the Augustinian Recollects will offer special content to live this time with intensity: texts, reflections, videos and experiences that will help us rediscover the richness of Augustinian spirituality.
August is the month in which we celebrate the feast of St. Augustine, our Father. But it is also a month that speaks of fraternity, of inner search, of restlessness that leads to God. Therefore, this campaign wants to bring the figure and message of Augustine to the digital world, with creativity, depth and hope.
The center: the living voice of St. Augustine
This year, the theme of the campaign will be the writings of St. Augustine himself. Each week some of his main works will be discussed, offering keys to reading, inspirational quotes and resources for prayer, reflection and sharing. It is a way of communicating, in a language that is close to us, the depth of the one who continues to speak to the heart.
Partnerships for an evangelization with A for Augustine
One of the most significant moments will be the launch of two new collaborations with international platform Hallowthe largest Catholic prayer app in the world. As we announced a few days ago, two proposals will arrive this August as a result of the joint work between Hallow and the Augustinian Recollects:
-

-
An emotional novena to St. Ezekiel Morenodedicated especially to those suffering from cancer and their families and friends, placing them under the intercession of the Recollect missionary saint.
Both productions will be available on the Hallow app starting in August and are a sign of the desire to share the Augustinian charism in new languages and platforms.
