AGAPE
What is Agape? In the New Testament
Agape is charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional. It is the way of
God is seen to love humanity, and it is seen as the kind of love that
Christians aspire. It is St. Augustine’s value of Love that most Augustinians live
out inside or outside the University.
Agape is mostly seen during Salo-salo held at University of San
Agustin every time there’s a major event like, the Intramurals celebrated this
August and the University Week on February. It is the time where every colleges
and departments are gathered together to give some love by sharing their food to each and fellow Augustinians. Students per group in each class bring their
own assigned food to contribute in a class. In that way, Augustinians share the
value of love that St. Augustine’s imparted to us. This is also where laughs and
good stories are told while digging in their own plate filled with different
food that the class have contributed. This means of sharing food to each and
everyone depicts how strong and bonded are the Augustinians as one of St.
Augustine that leads to building “friendship”
as one of the values that also portrays by St. Augustine.
