Augustinian Spirituality

At the heart of Augustinian Spirituality is:

1. Truth: The restless search for God. "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you." -St. Augustine 
2. Unity: Drawing nearer to God in shared community. Acts 4:32-35
3. Charity: The Greatest Commandment. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...love your neighbor as yourself".  Matthew 22:34-40  "Before all else dear brothers, love God and then your neighbor, because these are the chief commandments given to us". - St. Augustine
