but I ask you to heal and open my ears.
So that I can hear your voice.
you'll stop talking with love;
if you shout, you'll shout with love;
if you correct, you'll correct with love.
it has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.
It has eyes to see the misery and want.
It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of people.
This is what love looks like.
whose temples you have become.
my strength and in the name of the Lord,
I also have friends who have accepted
to follow the same ideal.

Augustinians Malta - Agostinjani
The Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine (Augustinians) is a religious order of brothers (many of whom are ordained priests) within the Catholic Church. The Order was founded in 1256 under the Rule of Saint Augustine.
Tant snin ilu l-aħwa agostinjani li ġew qabilna ingħataw il-kappella ta’ San Mark fir-Rabat u minn hemm nibtet storja li rabtitna ma din il-figura tant li, ħafna snin wara, intagħżel l-istess qaddis bħala padrun tal-Provinċja tagħna. Il-figura tal-Evanġelista tfakkarna b’mod konkret li s-sejħa tagħna hija radikata fl-Evangelju u tilħaq il-milja tagħha biss meta tgħix u twassal il-messaġġ tal-istess Evanġelju.
Hekk kif illum niċċelebraw il-festa ta’ San Mark nixtieq nawgura li nagħmlu tagħna kuljum is-sentiment programmatiku li permezz tiegħu l-evanġelista jiddeskrivi l-missjoni ta’ Ġesu fi kliem Ġesu nnifsu: “Bin il-bniedem ma ġiex biex ikun moqdi, imma biex jaqdi.” (Mk 10:45) Jalla b’dan l-istess spirtu, kuljum nibqgħu infittxu kif inkunu nies li jaqdu, aktar milli norganiżżaw kif nistgħu niġu moqdija. Jalla l-Mulej jagħtina dan is-sentiment ġenwin ta’ qadi l-ewwel u qabel kollox fil-konfront ta’ xulxin fil-komunitajiet u l-familji tagħna.

Many years ago the Augustinian friars were given the Chapel of Saint Mark in Rabat, and from there a story began that bound us to this figure so deeply that, many years later, the same saint was chosen as the patron of our Province. The figure of the evangelist reminds us in a concrete way that our calling is rooted in the Gospel and reaches its fullness only when one lives and proclaims the message of that same Gospel.
As today we celebrate the feast of Saint Mark, I would like to wish that we make our own, each day, the guiding sentiment through which the evangelist presents the mission of Jesus in Jesus’ own words: “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” (Mk 10:45) May we, with this same spirit, continue each day to seek how to be people who serve, rather than organizing how we might be served. May the Lord grant us this genuine spirit of service, first and foremost toward one another in our communities and families.

Today we celebrate the feast of the Conversion of Saint Augustine of Hippo.
From restlessness to peace, from searching to surrender, Augustine’s journey reminds us that no heart is too far from God. His famous words still echo today: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
May his story inspire us to trust in God’s patience, to seek truth with courage, and to allow grace to transform our lives each day.
St Augustine, pray for us.

Between 13 and 17 April, the Maltese Augustinian Friars convened for the second part of their Ordinary Provincial Chapter at the Santa Rita Priory. The session was presided over by the Vicar General, Fr Alexander Lam Alania O.S.A..The first part of the Chapter had been held earlier, between 17 and 18 March.
The second part of the Chapter opened with a Eucharistic celebration offered for the repose of the souls of friars who passed away over the past four years. This was followed by the presentation of a Programme Vision for the coming years by the Prior Provincial. The document focused on three key themes: Communion, identified as the primary project; Mission, outlining five pastoral priorities; and Future, centred on forward-looking planning and the development of sustainable structures. After extensive discussion in both working groups and plenary assembly, the document was unanimously approved.
During the Chapter, the Assembly also issued a statement conveying a clear call for peace and expressing full solidarity and steadfast support for Pope Leo XIV, affirming his consistent and unwavering message of peace. Discussions continued throughout the sessions, addressing a range of themes and proposals relevant to the life and mission of the Province.
The Chapter concluded on Friday April 17 with the formal reading and approval of the Acts at St Augustine Hall in Valletta. A closing Mass was then celebrated by the Vicar General at the Parish Church of St Augustine. A large number of lay collaborators from across the Province joined the friars for the celebration, which was followed by a reception at the priory.
