Verbum Dei

Men you have a great responsibility to guard and protect those in your life. Br. Andrew gives many biblical examples of how men have either lived into their purpose or have failed. What will you do?

In this episode, Br. Simon explains that God repeats himself in Gen 2 that your purpose is to be fruitful and have dominion. Learn from Br. Simon that your vocation is to love and lead over what has been entrusted to you.

Based on Gen 2:7, Br. Joseph encourages us to do what we see God doing. This is fulfilled in Jesus, who always does what He sees the Father doing. We too want to be like our Father and do the works he is doing (John 9:6).

Br. Levi Mary describes how intimacy with God is already available to us. If we are willing to let ourselves be known by God, we will experience an intimacy with God like Adam and Eve enjoyed in the garden of Eden.

In this episode, Br. Nathanael teaches that yes indeed there are two different creation accounts: the first is like a panorama, and the second is like a microscope view of the creation of man. He then relates this to our own spiritual lives and how we can even approach prayer.

God rests on the seventh day and makes it holy. Then, he commands us to rest. So, rest on your sabbath! Br. Andrew explains how each Sabbath is an anticipation for heaven, which, according to St. Augustine, is the "eternal sabbath".

Fr. James explains how after each day of creation, God calls it a day. He does this to model for us how to do one thing at a time. He doesn't want us to be discouraged, but just do the next right thing in our journey of holiness.

In this episode, Br. Peter reflects upon the order that is latent in creation in Genesis 1. God's word reveals that we are made for order. And you need order, to be like God.

Genesis 1 reveals that God’s first action toward living beings is blessing. We have been created for blessing. Fr. John explains that the way we remain in blessing is by being fruitful and having dominion, God’s first commands in the Bible. Hence, we understand that God blesses our fruitfulness and dominion, and therefore, we should be more fruitful and have more dominion.

After an amazing play on the football field, Br. Simon received an unexpected blessing from his coach. Br. Simon explains how we too can receive the Heavenly Father‘s blessing, and from that blessing, move forward in our true identity and mission.
