You know who's really wonderful? You

Thank you for this explanation.

Could someone kindly tell me whether I have correctly understood the key differience with how Aquinas understands the resistabillity of grace, contra Augustine? Augustine sees all grace as intrinsically efficacious (or irresistible), since the creaturely will has nothingness as its only independent source. Therefore the only thing that distingishes sufficient grace from efficient grace is the strength of the impulse from God. Aquinas, however, makes a real distinction between the nature of sufficient grace versus intrinsically effectual grace, since, following Aristotle, the creaturely will is actually informed by being, as opposed to the platonic notion that the creature is devoid of the actual substance of being. This means that sufficient grace must be cooperated with by the will (which has actually been informed by grace) in order for it to go from potency to act, thus grounding the responsibillity of the will to act. Augustine, on the other hand, places all the responsibility to act with the will of God alone. Have I understood this correctly?

14:57 Seeing massive rate of divorce and annulments among Catholics, particular in USA, this saying about "marriage as friendship" fell deaf to my ears.

10:30 "Christocentric humanism" is a steel bar made from wood. Christ is God and man, you cannot be humanist putting God, ultimately, at the center.

9:53 Solidarity with unborn anyone?

9:19 Proper interpretation of Gaudium et Spes is so hard to achieve, that I think: why bother? Isn't christian life easier and more fruitful without spending time on document that is easy to misinterpreted and hard to interpreted properly?

Thank you Fathers. Grateful for this talk and q&a s.

My mom met him when he visited the Art Institute of Chicago when she studied there from 1948-52. She was in the back of a packed room by the door as Dali was mobbed by everyone. Apparently he wanted a quick exit and dropped to the floor, crawling between his admirers legs to the door. He stood up right in front of her and signaled she stay quiet, and ran out the door without saying a word. My mother was equally talented, and devoted her life to her family and students.

Thank you very much for this detailed video!

Probably the best speech that has ever been posted to this website

Thank you for such a thoughtful presentation, communicated with a real depth of feeling. May we grow in the poverty modelled by Francis, and above all, Christ.

Congratulations Br Nick. Great speech

Ecclesiastes chapter 7 v 16 says it all

Jesus parables are simple and tailor made for simple people like fisherman and shepherds.

A human being is a person. It’s not complicated.

I'd like to see a catholic spiritual posting

Very many thanks. I came across the Dali painting as a 10 yr old Catholic kid, and was startled and drawn into it. Likewise with Dali's other Christ figure, 'Corpus Hypercubus' ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_(Corpus_Hypercubus) ). I was unaware of John of the Cross' sketch, which in some ways I find far more 'living' (ironic, but there it is) than Dali's - tho each has its own resonance.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This Is Why in The Philippines They Have The Salubong Every Easter Sunday Commemorates This Scene

Father God Loves You so Much ❤️ Please let me know if You want to talk about Kingdom of God💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

From marker 8:30ff: Brother's linking of Participatio Actuosa in Gaudium & Spes ¶68 and Sacrosanctum Concilium ¶14 made me sit up and gasp. There is so much to meditate on there! It seems telling that in the official English on the Vatican website, they are not translated the same.

Too many people have died in the name of Christ for anyone to hear the call.

The Beatific Vision is seeing Jesus in His glory, and also seeing the Person no one ever saw directly - the Father. There will always be limits to our perception of God even on the level of this Vision. But that's the real beauty of it - we'll keep chasing the limits eternally without ever reaching it. Thereby, the more we gaze upon God, the more wonderful and beautiful He will appear - as though, to us, He "grows" in beauty everyday, continually and eternally. That's what makes the Beatific Vision inexhaustible in our awe of the LORD God.

Read Luke. Now I will listen.

Finally. But majority will not believe it, despite it's historycal

I've never heard such blatant lies, there are numerous years recorded in the bible after Jesus death, and none of his followers celebrated his birthday.

The observance of Christmas on December 25 was not introduced until 353 A.D. The chief pastor at Rome, Julius I (336-352), had the imperial archives of Rome searched for the exact date of the birth of Christ. A subsequent pastor of Rome, Liberius (352-366), then fixed the celebration of Christmas for December 25. Justin Martyr (died 150 A.D.) writes: “Christ was born in Bethlehem, as may be gathered from the census records.” Another writer, Tertullian (155 or 160-220 or 230 A.D.), testifies that in the census of Augustus the Roman archives have provided the most reliable testimony of the birth of the Savior.

Love my catholic church is so full of teachings and it has an answer to every question , there is no way way that billions of cristians can be wrong by celebrating on december 25th . VIVA CRISTO REY .

So the pagans took the date from the true believers, hmmm and you want us to believe that?!!!!

Who he/she/it, celebrate Christmas is not a real follower of Jesus Christ nor a true Christian.

That's just it. There is a good "biblical" argument for why the 25th. I will accept that it can be debated that the Christians piggy-backed Saturnalia and Sol Invictus but the Winter Solstice has been recognized since the Neolithic period over 12,000 years ago. The reality is that the modern Jesus was born at the First Council of Nicaea, between May-Aug of 325 AD under Emporer Constantine. That's why December 25th was not recognized as the birth of Jesus Christ until 333 AD.

The Magi gave Gifts to Jesus - Not each other.??? Do you Worship Satan Claus, or Jesus Christ.???

❣️❣️

We are enjoying figuring out a jigsaw of this painting and your analysis of it has made our happy task even more enjoyable. Thank you.

They didn’t keep records of births then, the 25 th of December is the ROMAN festival of the SATURNALIA ,the Christian’s just picked that date to convert pagans

I’ve had this vision , I seen a Holy light in clouds and felt the presence of God , the authority the the Father is so powerful , extremely powerful , it’s so beautiful plus you will KNOW it’s God , your spirit knows the Father , I’m so blessed to have experience the Spirit of God 💕💕💕

Thank you father for the information

Thankyou sir for nice explanation may Lord Jesus Christ Ji bless you.

Had the good fortune to be a parishioner at St. Dominic’s in Benicia when Augustine was there. Obviously an intellectual, but skilled and caring pastorally as well.

This is a great explanation. Thank you. It seems that matter is potentiality (quantum physics supports this). The potentiality is actualized by a mind. But we cannot actualize ourselves. So therefore, God.

Jesus was born unto Mary while her and Joseph were going to report for the Jewish census / Roman tax collection. The Bible is very specific about this. Jesus' birth time would be roughly near the end of March

Stuck in the middle of a church structure that has many issues including misogyny, patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, racism, colonialism, etc... I have always appreciated Fr. Michael's ability to inspire the imagination and connect the student with the Great God of Love ever immanent and present in each moment of self-giving love.

Dumb Ox - Are you correlative with God?

Modern philosophers have presented counterarguments to many of Hume's objections. Eg: "In his book Miracles C. S. Lewis notes that Hume can know that all experience favors his argument only by knowing in advance that all evidence in favor of miracle claims is false. But since he refuses to investigate miracles, he can know that these claims are false only by assuming that they do not happen. This is clearly circular reasoning, for Hume's position is certainly not evident a priori." (Skepticism: David Hume Gary R. Habermas ) "Hume‟s arguments against miracle are inconsistent with scientific and empirical principle he set out to defend. Generally, the doctrine of miracle is unacceptable to science because it (science) is rooted in the principle of regularities of nature. A critical look at the Big Bang theory which is accepted as a creditable scientific explanation of the origin of the universe explains that development of life is a onetime event and never repeated. If this is the case, why should possibility of miracle be denied on regularities condition? One can argue in this respect, that miracles are scientific events. " (AN ASSESSMENT OF DAVID HUME’S IMPOSSIBILITY OF MIRACLE Olubanjo-Olufowobi, Olufunso) "Hume's fourth criterion states that the miracle claims of many different religions cancel out rival ideologies. But such a criterion would be valid only if all miracle claims were true. That one religion may back its revelation claims with invalid "miracles" is no reason to reject a religion possessing valid claims. Inept systems cannot cancel a religion that may be supported by evidence that is shown to be probable. " (Skepticism: David Hume Gary R. Habermas )
