Far from being a simple checklist, Proverbs 31 reveals a woman shaped by covenantal wisdom—faithful, industrious, generous, strong, dignified, and devout. Jeff walks us through Proverbs 31, explaining its Hebrew background and teaching us how to apply its wisdom to modern discernment in dating and marriage.

About the Author

End Credits

Our cluttered lives often distract us from what matters most. Inspired by the Little Flower, this book offers a spiritual path to simplicity rooted in trust, humility, and intentional love. Through detachment, gratitude, and the Little Way, you'll find freedom from materialism, peace in your home, and a deeper intimacy with God. Let go of excess and embrace a life where everything is grace — where even the smallest acts become great in the eyes of Heaven.

The Little Way of Living with Less

St. Joseph, the earthly reflection of our Heavenly Father, offers a powerful antidote to the crises of modern manhood. In this insightful book, Fr. Serafino M. Lanzetta explores Joseph’s hidden holiness, drawing from Scripture and Tradition to reveal his unique role in salvation history. You’ll discover how Joseph reflected divine love, participated in Christ’s mission, protected the Holy Family, and modeled silent reverence before the Eucharist. Complete with prayers, litanies, and devotions, this book invites renewed trust in St. Joseph’s intercession and example.

The Silent Witness of Nazareth | eBook

Prof. Chris Baglow explores how the God of love can allow evil and suffering by showing that a world created for freedom and love—not as a deterministic machine—necessarily entails the risk of physical and moral evils, yet opens a deeper path of redemptive goodness. This lecture was given on October 30th, 2025, at Mississippi State University. For more information on upcoming events, visit us at <a href="https://thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events" target="_blank">thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events</a>.

In 2018 he was co-recipient of an Expanded Reason Award in Teaching from the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (Madrid) and the Vatican Joseph Ratzinger Foundation (Rome) for his work in integrating faith and science in Catholic education, for which he has also received numerous grants from the John Templeton Foundation. Baglow is the author of Faith, Science and Reason: Theology on the Cutting Edge (2nd edition, Midwest Theological Forum, 2019) and Creation: A Catholic’s Guide to God and the Universe (Ave Maria Press, 2021).

10/26 - St. Demetrius of Thessalonika

&quot;&#39;Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?&#39; He (Jesus) said to him, &#39;You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.&#39;&quot; Matthew 22: 36-39

Fr. Mike Schmitz warns us of the dangers of making our lives too full, even with good things.

Day 362: The Woman Clothed with the Sun (2025)

Through the Catechism, we learn more about the Lord’s Prayer and how it should be included in our personal prayers as well as in community during the liturgy of the Mass. In giving us the Our Father, Jesus models how we are to use this prayer to speak directly with the Father. Fr. Mike drives home that we receive the words to pray and also receive the Holy Spirit when saying this prayer. Together, the words and the Holy Spirit enable us to pray like Christ and become more like him. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2765-2772. 

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Prof. Kevin Kambo reflects on race, racism, and antiracism through Augustine, showing how modern racial categories operate as idolatrous myths born of the lust to dominate and calling listeners to see others instead as icons of God rather than instruments of civic or ideological projects. This lecture was given on October 24th, 2025, at St. Joseph’s Church in Greenwich Village. For more information on upcoming events, visit us at <a href="https://thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events" target="_blank">thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events</a>. About the Speakers: Kevin M. Kambo is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Dallas in Irving, TX. Before completing his doctoral studies at the Catholic University of America, he earned a bachelor of science in Chemistry at Stanford University and worked as an intellectual property paralegal in Manhattan, NY. Dr. Kambo specialises in classical Greek philosophy, particularly on Platonic moral psychology and on the dramatic elements of Platonic dialogues. He also works on the reception of Platonic thought through history, from late antique (e.g., in Clement of Alexandria and Augustine of Hippo) through contemporary (e.g., W. E. B. Du Bois and Simone Weil) thinkers, and has broader scholarly interests in philosophy of technology, philosophy and literature (especially tragedy), philosophy of race, and liberal education. He is a partisan of the original Star Wars trilogy, P. G. Wodehouse, and receiving postcards--not necessarily in that order.

Icons and Idols: An Augustinian Reflection on Race, Racism, and Antiracism – Prof. Kevin Kambo

This comprehensive, richly illustrated volume explores the most significant Marian apparitions since Fatima, presenting more than 400 pages of documented miracles and eyewitness accounts, complete with maps, artwork, and detailed analyses. With clarity and urgency, the messages from Our Lady — some dire, others filled with hope — call the faithful to deeper prayer and conversion. From Fatima and Akita to lesser-known sites like Heede and Ngome, each approved or likely-authentic apparition is examined with historical context, theological insight, and precision. Readers will discover how these appearances of Mary form a global pattern of divine intervention, inviting the world to respond to Heaven’s call.
