The Augustinians are a group of – they're called friars. They were founded in 1244. And they're grounded in a deep sense of I think maybe three principles, living in community, a really strong sense that wherever we go, we go together, deep sense of the heart. The Augustinians, if you ever see an icon of St. Augustine, he's often holding a heart.

It's a sense that what we need to do is make that connection with other peoples in their heart and a really strong sense of a kind of call to the mission to go out. The original Augustinians often went into cities and places to be with where people were.

And so I think that's important in this kind of tradition of the Augustinians, deeply heart-based, strong aspects of intellectual life, hence Villanova. But it's a really wonderful order and it's so exciting to see them get their moment in the spotlight.

I think fundamentally one of the most important part of being an Augustinian is sometimes called the order of loves. It's this idea in many ways that our hearts need to grow. You know, our hearts can get very narrow. We can just fall in love only with ourselves. So finding a way to have our hearts expand, to make room for God, who is infinite.

And when you make room for God, you make room for everyone. And that broadening of our hearts, particularly then not for everyone, but also particularly for those in need. And maybe one of the big tasks of his pontificate for Americans, for all kinds of Catholics, for all kinds of people is helping us broaden our hearts. I mean, I think notably, you know, we have a vice president who's Catholic.

In some ways, you can think about what he said as, you know, having a lot of the right words, but getting the tune wrong. He scribed, it's true, one of the very important ideas that The Order of Loves teaches us that we rightly prioritize people who are closer to us. I have my fourth baby on the way. I spend a lot of time and invest a lot of energy and love in those children. They're my children.
