More About Saint Damien
Fr. Rich, Matt, Ryan and Ryan,
Thank you. I enjoyed learning more about the brilliant doctor of the church Thomas Aquinas. I had heard he conversed with his Guardian Angel but never realized that as a mystic he was discovered in conversation with Jesus. I am not sure if there was an apparition of Christ involved or not in this visitation?
I had heard the story of the prostitute being sent to him and his extreme reaction to her seduction. I believe that was a story told to me in a religion class back in my high school days. Thankfully I never had to protect my chastity with a sword. A simple no worked. That particular class was when I also learned he was placed under house arrest by his aristocratic family. All because he wanted to be a Dominican and not a Benedictine.
I definitely will check out the free ebook download at Pints With Aquinas. No, I discovered the Catholic Talk Show and heard about Matt Fradd through you guys. I also heard about Keith Nester through you guys as well as many others. My head spins with all the intellectual reading I could subject myself to from recommended books and authors. My next selection of the spiritual or the theological will be The Language of God written by a converted and eminent scientist. Then on to Pope Peter.
I just finished reading Spiritual Passages, RD, and it reads like a textbook. I got a lot from it only because I persevered. The book also had bad footnote and reference structure. There were no references on the same pages as the footnotes. There was a section in the back of the book and before the index for all of them. There are three states or stages to be in during our journey to Jesus — purgative, illuminative and unitive. I am still in the purgative stage.
I wish I would be as faithful at exercising my body like I am my brain! Good discussion and podcast guys. Thank you again.
Take care,
Andrea
One of my favorite songs/prayers attributed to Saint Thomas Aquinas is Adoro the Devote. Such a wonderful dedication it makes me wish my parish would use it during the Mass.
