ORDER OF THE DISCALCED AUGUSTINIANS - OAD Asia

Dear Readers, the cause of the saints represents a crucial element for the Church, as through it, the extraordinary holiness of individuals who have lived their faith in an exemplary manner is recognized and celebrated, becoming models of Christian virtue and inspiring the faithful to follow their example.

This issue of Presenza Agostiniana dedicates space to the rigorous journey that the General Postulation undertakes in accompanying each process of beatification and canonization. This long and careful path ensures that only those who have truly lived a life of extraordinary holiness are recognized as saints. The veneration of the saints through prayers, pilgrimages, and liturgical celebrations strengthens the faith of the faithful and creates a profound spiritual bond between the community and the Kingdom of Heaven.

This devotion not only keeps the memory of the saints alive but also nourishes the daily spirituality of believers, offering concrete examples of lived faith. Indeed, through the recognition and celebration of the saints, the Church and our Order offer the faithful models of Christian life and Augustinian spirituality embodied in everyday life. Happy reading.
