Through the Church Fathers

Through the Fathers in a Year: January 13


Listen Later

Join us for today’s Through the Fathers in a Year readings as we explore profound insights from Clement, Augustine, and Aquinas:

  • 1 Clement (Sections 86–95): Discover Clement’s prayers and reflections on God's mercy and holiness, emphasizing grace and unity within the Church.
  • Augustine (Confessions, Book 1, Sections 36–39): Augustine invites us to reflect on confession, divine mercy, and finding ultimate rest in God. His honest and heartfelt words challenge us to seek God’s peace in our lives.
  • Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologica, Part I, Question 2, Article 1): Dive into Aquinas’s exploration of whether God’s existence is self-evident, blending reason and faith to guide us toward understanding divine truths.

Reflection Questions:

  1. How does Clement’s emphasis on God’s mercy shape your understanding of divine forgiveness?
  2. What practical steps can you take, inspired by Augustine, to seek rest in God amidst life’s restlessness?
