Today’s readings press us right up against the heart of the Christian confession, where Athanasius keeps insisting that the Cross and Resurrection are not ideas to ponder but facts that reshape reality (Romans 4:25). Augustine then pulls us into the mystery of desire itself, reminding us how hungry we are for God even when our lives pull us toward lesser loves (Psalm 42:1). Aquinas closes the day by lifting our gaze above the visible world to the ordered work of the angelic hosts, showing how every good action in creation echoes the goodness of the God who sends them (Hebrews 1:14). These three Fathers—each in a different way—urge us to understand salvation not as a theory to defend but a living power that heals the human person.
