Augustinian Spirituality
Our spirituality proceeds from the teachings of the Gospels, the example of St. Augustine, and the tradition of the Order. Augustinian Spirituality has the following attributes:
-
It is Evangelical: Love of God and neighbor, fueled by the study of Sacred Scripture.
-
It is Prayerful: Coming to know God and rest in His love through contemplative prayer.
-
It is Charitable: A joyful devotion of time, talent, and treasure to the service of the Church.
-
Its axis is Community: Drawing strength from and giving strength to our brothers and sisters.
