Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back. Don't get spoiled now, but we have another super short reading today.

Which is from Book Twelve, Chapter Five on page 282.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. We have a short reading today that is piggy-backing off of yesterday's thoughts on the Bible.

We are reading from Book Twelve, Chapter Four on page 282.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. We are going to be hearing a lot about the beginning of the all creation, so be ready for that. It will be in mostly bit-sized chunks, which I think we be helpful. And I will try to give bite-sized chunks of information on the science behind all this.

Let's go ahead and open to page 282 to read from Book Twelve, Chapter Three.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. We are going to talk about beauty today and I may or may not be a tad controversial.

Please open to Book Twelve, Chapter Two on page 281.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to Book Twelve. We have this book—Book Twelve—and then Book Thirteen, which is so awesome. We've come so far.

Let's get started on our short reading today from Book Twelve, Chapter One on page 281.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims, to the end of Book Eleven. I know I started out saying that we were going to dive into Genesis, but I didn't realize that we would literally just be exploring the opening line of Genesis. So, if you were ready for more, I'm sorry that I misled you. I beg your forgiveness.

We are reading today from Book Eleven, Chapter Thirty-One on page 279.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Just two more readings in Book Eleven. How have you done with this book? Okay? I hope so. I know it's been a lot of philosophy and maybe you didn't anticipate that. That's okay, I didn't either.

Let's go ahead and read our second to last chapter in Book Eleven by turning to page 279 and reading from Chapter Thirty.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. What is your goal? Or goals? What do you think most people would say if you asked people on the street?

How many do you think would say that their goal is Heaven?

We are reading today from Book Eleven, Chapter Twenty-Nine on page 278.

Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. We are coming down to the end of Book Eleven, only a few more readings to go.

We are reading today from Book Eleven, Chapter Twenty-Eight on page 277.

Welcome, Catholic Pilgrims. Today, we need to focus and put our thinking caps on. I had to do a lot of research for this chapter, but I don't want you to start sweating and worrying.

As we read this, just take it in and then I'll explain. Don't try to analyze it to death while I'm reading. It's probably not going to make a ton of sense right away, but we'll get through it. We will, we will.

I'm not saying this to scare you, I'm saying it because I want you to just relax while I read it. I know that when I start reading something that is challenging, I start to get tense and then just stress over the fact that I don't understand. But, relax, I've got you.

With that said, let's open to Book Eleven, Chapter Twenty-Seven on page 275.
