ORDER OF THE DISCALCED AUGUSTINIANS - OAD Asia

Dear readers, in the frenetic and chaotic rhythm of the contemporary world, there is often a need for a pause for moments of tranquility and reflection. Our religious communities scattered in various parts of the world are concerned with offering a refuge for those seeking a deeper connection with their spirituality and an opportunity to rediscover the meaning and value of their Christian existence.

The second issue of this year of Presenza Agostiniana is dedicated to some of our Centers of Spirituality that offer sacraments, reflections, formation, and spiritual retreats to help people find communion with God and inner peace in an era characterized by stress, anxiety, and many concerns. These centers, distributed in various parts of the world, are witnesses to the continuous and current presence of Augustinian spirituality in the various realities where we are present, not as mere places of worship, but as spaces where faith intertwines with local culture through prayer, reflection, and community.

Each Augustinian Center of Spirituality has its own history, carries out its own activities, and proposes our charism in a unique way: Happy to serve the Most High in a spirit of humility. We invite our readers to get to know them through the pages of Presenza Agostiniana to perceive the importance of Centers of Spirituality in the contemporary world. Enjoy reading.
