On June 1st, 2010, the Irish Province of Augustinians donated the private archive of Fr. FX Martin OSA to the National Library of Ireland. This donation included all of Fr. Martin’s detailed collection of papers relating to the Viking settlement at Wood Quay in Dublin. This donation was made so that this material will be available for scholars as part of our national patrimony.
From St Augustine:
Let them deny themselves, that is, not put their trust in themselves. Let them take up their cross, that is, put up with all the affronts of the world for the love of Christ.
Persist, persevere, endure, bear up under the delay. In this way you will bear your cross.
- Sermon 96,9
