Saint Augustine and Hippo Regius: A Perspective from North Africa
What if one of the greatest questions ever asked about the human soul was born not in Rome, not in Athens, but here—in ancient Hippo Regius, on the shores of North Africa?
More than sixteen centuries ago, Augustine of Hippo stood in this land and wrestled with questions that still follow us into the silence of our own lives:
Who are we beneath everything the world has taught us to become?
Why do we search for happiness and still feel incomplete?
Can a restless mind ever find peace?
And what happens when a human being turns inward and begins searching for truth—not outside himself, but within?

Missouri
I am interested in becoming a third order secular Augustinian. Anyone located in Missouri who can help with formation/provide spiritual direction, or recommend a parish/group? Any events in Missouri?

Do lay Augustinians use OSA after their name or is that reserved to consecrated members?

Based on the CONSTITUTIONS OF THE ORDER OF SAINT AUGUSTINE, laity are considered part of the Order so long as they are under a legitimate Prior General. So I don't think there is any reason as to why laity cannot have O.S.A after their name. However, you can probably put O.S.A (Third Order) to further distinguish if you would like. https://4a020198-a67a-4b44-a735-0b636b58eecf.filesusr.com/ugd/46dbdf_852e486de19341579f66917fef1e3f07.pdf
