SAINT JEROME EMILIANI
“Why (God) should ask us to pray, when he knows what we need before we ask him, may perplex us if we do not realize that our Lord and God does not want to know what we want (for he cannot fail to know it) but wants us rather to exercise our desire through our prayers, so that we may be able to receive what he is preparing to give us. His gift is very great indeed, but our capacity is too small and limited to receive it.
”
–
Letter 130, 8

The Augustinian Guild (Mass Cards) was established as a ministry of prayer so that we might share with others the spiritual riches of our religious community. Individuals enrolled in the Guild, both living and deceased, share in our Masses, prayers and works.
Donations to the Guild, in turn, assist us in our Province Mission, in the care of elderly and infirm friars, and in the education and training of our newest Province members. Praying is one of the ways in which we Augustinians are united in petition and thanksgiving with family, benefactors and friends.
