Repentance, humility, resurrection, and ordered love form the backbone of the Christian life—and they are not learned all at once. Today’s readings press deeper into the moral and spiritual logic of the early church, revealing how God patiently calls His people back to unity, how the soul longs to be gathered into God Himself, and how sacred doctrine stands as a true science grounded in divine light.

Readings:

Clement of Rome, 1 Clement, Sections 8–15

Augustine of Hippo, The Confessions, Book 1, Chapter 1 (3–4)

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 1, Article 2
