Ama et fac quod vis

Saint Augustin said da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo , Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet.

The title of this note means:

Love and do as you please.

Near Chilpancingo there is an Augustinian seminary, in the City of Chilapa. I assume that the original Saint, explains the ideology of this Catholic Order. They are freer than the Franciscans, and others with poverty vows.

"Along with being a prominent figure in the religious spectrum, Augustine was also very influential in the history of education. He introduced the theory of three different categories of students, and instructed teachers to adapt their teaching styles to each student's individual learning style. The three different kinds of students are: the student who has been well-educated by knowledgeable teachers; the student who has had no education; and the student who has had a poor education, but believes himself to be well-educated."
