The Augustinian Friars in Britain

Our Hearts are Restless until they Rest in You, Lord

St Augustine for Today

The links below lead to topics for reading within the “Augustinian ethos”. We suggest they may also be used within the model of lectio divina. [Quoting from this link, lectio divina is “A very ancient art, practiced at one time by all Christians, - a slow, contemplative praying of the Scriptures which enables the Bible, the Word of God, to become a means of union with God”]. Reading these texts and contemplating each section in a similar manner will enable a richer and deeper understanding of the Augustinian union with today's world.

Please note: All the topics are available in Acrobat Reader format (.pdf), to which links have been made. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader there is a link at the bottom of this page which will take you to the Adobe web site page for a FREE download.
