August 25, 2017: Question and Answer - Anxiety and the News

Homily from the Third Sunday of Lent. Trained in trust...strengthened through struggle. God has freely given so much to us…and we are grateful. But why do we still experience the consequences of slavery? God gives us the chance to grow in trust of Him and His love…and He allows us to grow stronger in our ability to walk as His children.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Mass Readings from March 24, 2019:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Exodus 3:1-8, 13-15</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Psalms 103: 1-4, 6-8, 11</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12</dt> Luke 13:1-9 <a href="https://bulldogcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/behind-enemy-lines-trust-god...and-fight.pdf">Download the Homily Study</a>

HUGE NEWS on the Future of Pints With Aquinas w/ Cameron Fradd

Homily from the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time A distraction issue or a decision issue? In order to achieve any worthwhile goal, we need to focus. Yet, distractions abound in our world and in ourselves. A distraction is anything that takes our focus away from what we need to be doing. But in order to know what a distraction is, we first have to know what it is we need to be doing.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;">Mass Readings from August 13, 2023:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">Psalm 85:9, 10, 11-12, 13-14</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">Romans 9:1-5</dt> Matthew 14:22-33

Dr. Rebekah Lamb explores J.R.R. Tolkien’s “detached aesthetics,” revealing how his Christian understanding of spiritual detachment shapes his writing, especially in "The Lord of the Rings," as a means of cultivating hope, wonder, and a rightly ordered love for the world. This lecture was given on January 30th, 2025, at University of Edinburgh. For more information on upcoming events, visit us at <a href="https://dashboard.cohostpodcasting.com/shows/fedb9eb7-b992-446b-be01-01cd62afd823/episodes/thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events" target="_blank">thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events</a>. About the Speaker: Dr. Rebekah Lamb is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in theology and the arts at the University of St Andrews, specializing in religion and literature of late modernity. Her research centres on the ways in which the arts can be distinctive and timely modes of theology in their own right, especially in light of liturgical, spiritual, and existential concerns. Key figures in her work include Joseph Ratzinger, St. John Henry Newman, Gerard Manley Hopkins SJ, Christina Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites as well as their inheritors (JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis, among others). Prior to joining St Andrews, she was an inaugural Étienne Gilson Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto. She is a trustee of the Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst (Lancashire, UK) and frequently contributes to popular magazines and journals, including an interview with Robert Cardinal Sarah for the Catholic Herald.

J.R.R. Tolkien's Detached Aesthetics I Dr. Rebekah Lamb

The Catechism wraps up its discussion surrounding Article 5 of the Creed (“He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead”) and asks the question, “What does Jesus’ resurrection mean for me?” Fr. Mike points out that Christ’s resurrection proves—definitively—that he is the only begotten Son of God. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 651-658.

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.
