À propos de cet audio
Are we truly striving for heaven or merely avoiding hell?
The human heart’s greatest longing is to see God as he is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hell’s pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining?
Do we choose the good because we strive to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, or do we choose the good merely because we fear hell?
God never leaves us alone in these choices. Indeed, he sends us his grace, but—to help us cooperate with that grace and fight valiantly—he also sends spiritual warriors and guides, of whom one of the greatest is Saint Thomas Aquinas.
In Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices, Saint Thomas guides us on how to pursue our true celestial homeland while avoiding running to a false heaven. He outlines the various vices, and their 40-plus daughters, and details how to conquer them.
After listening to this work, you will not only desire to become a saint because you will see how hideous vice truly is but also see how splendid and virtuous living for God is.
