You have pierced our hearts with the arrow of Your love.

St. Augustine

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Every religious order has saints and ways of venerating people like our Blessed Mother. We Augustinians venerate Mary as Our Mother of Good Counsel. People bring attention to those they venerate in ways such as paintings, holy cards, sculptures, stained glass windows, and murals. An example of a mural at Our Mother of Good Counsel Church in Los Angeles, CA is shown here. St. Augustine is depicted to her left, as is St. Clare of Montefalco, O.S.A., and St. John Stone, O.S.A. They, and other venerated Augustinians, can be seen at http://www.osa-west.org/holies2.html. Fr. Jim Retzner, O.S.A.
