Augustine Institute Helping Catholics understand, live, and share their faith. The Augustine Institute is bringing people to know and love God. Knowledge of God changes us.

From our foundation as a leading Catholic graduate school of theology, we've grown to become an educational apostolate defending and promoting the history and teachings of the Church through traditional and new media. We form leaders and grow the faithful. It grows our capacity to love God and others and creates a desire to be immersed in the Divine Truth, making it our first priority. You'll find a friendly community of Catholics here, as well as materials and programs to help you and others enter more deeply into the life of faith. To paraphrase Chesterton, the moment you are fair to the Church, you begin to grow fond of it. Those who resist Catholic teaching do so mainly by walling themselves off from it. We help parishes and individual Catholics assess and share faithful and compelling content.

St. Teresa of Avila was a Carmelite reformer, spiritual writer, and Doctor of the Church whose writings on prayer and the interior life are central to the Church’s spiritual tradition.

She is one of the four women featured in the Augustine Institute Short Course Women Who Became Doctors of the Church. The course looks at the lives, writings, teachings, and historical impact of St. Hildegard of Bingen, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, with a full session devoted to St. Teresa.

On her feast day, learn more about one of the four women the Church has named Doctors of the Church through the link in our bio.

"I want to see God" - St. Teresa of Avila (Life 1.4), as quoted by Pope Benedict XVI.

“We can oftentimes focus on exterior things, taking them for the interior. Jesus wants us to focus on the interior life, the heart.” — Dr. Tim Gray

It is easy to fill our days with good things and still neglect the interior life.

Jesus himself regularly withdrew from the crowds to pray. Time set apart gives us the opportunity to do the same—to step away from the usual demands of daily life and give our attention again to prayer and our relationship with God.

At the Augustine Institute, our Catholic retreats and days of recollection offer time for prayer, the Sacraments, learning, and reflection.

Lead Kindly Light: The Story of Saint John Henry Newman premieres today on Formed, released for the feast of St. John Henry Newman.

This documentary follows the journey of John Henry Newman, an English theologian and cardinal who left behind prestige and security to follow the voice of conscience and embrace the Catholic faith. Shot on location in England, Ireland, Italy, and the United States, the film reveals a man who faced solitude and rejection, yet found true freedom in his faithfulness to God.

More than a biography, Lead Kindly Light: The Story of Saint John Henry Newman is an invitation to clarity amid confusion—a call to live with integrity between faith and reason, and to rediscover, alongside Newman, that truth may cost us everything, but it is the only path to freedom.

Watch on Formed today! https://bit.ly/4yF6dFH
