Module 1: GENERAL ORIENTATION
Welcome to Module 1 !
In this module, we will review and familiarize the USA Vision-Mission-AGA, the nature,
elements, and principles of the Social Teachings of the Church. Here, we will come to
appreciate the importance of studying Theology 5 in relation to our being an Augustinian. It is
good for us to review the university’s vision, mission and graduate attributes, which you have
been memorizing since last year, so that we can focus again on what we want to become as
Augustinians.
Module 1: Learning Objectives:
At the end of the module, the students shall be able to:
1. reflect and share ideas on what make a good Augustinian and Christian believer;
2. familiarize the USA Vision-Mission-AGA, the nature, elements, characteristics, and

principles of the Social Teachings of the Church;
3. illustrate ways on how to live as good Christian believer and Augustinian student in the
time of pandemic.

Graduate Attributes (Synchronous)
Synthesis of the students’ responses
Being a student of the University of San Agustin, wearing the school uniform and school
identification card give you an identity as Augustinian, but does not automatically make you
a GOOD Augustinian. To be a good Augustinian implies that you submit yourself to the
formation that is directed towards the university’s vision, mission and graduate attributes.

Synthesis of the students’ responses

In the gospel of Mark, Jesus taught us how to be a good Christian, to obey the greatest
commandment:
Mark 13: 28-33
One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and
saw him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied: “The
first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and
with all your strength.
The second is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no
other commandment greater than these.” The scribe said to him, “Well said,
teacher. You are right in saying, ‘He is One and there is no other than he.’ And
‘to love him with all your heart, with all your strength, and to love your
neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

POPE LEO XIII “The State should watch over these societies of citizens
banded together in accordance with their rights”
TODAY CST still challenges the world!
