    Through the Church Fathers in a Year

    Today’s readings guide us through the wisdom of Ignatius of Antioch, the sorrowful reflections of Augustine of Hippo, and the theological insights of Thomas Aquinas. Ignatius exhorts his readers to humility and unity, reminding them that even the greatest figures in Scripture considered themselves unworthy before God. He calls the faithful to submit to their spiritual leaders, just as Christ submitted to the Father. Augustine shares his grief over the loss of a dear friend, describing how sorrow darkened his soul and left him searching for comfort that could only be found in God. Lastly, Aquinas explores the order of love, demonstrating why love for God must always be supreme and how love for others finds its true meaning when rooted in Him.

    Through Theology in a Year with C. Michael Patton

    Charity is often seen as a simple act of kindness, but does love itself have an order? Thomas Aquinas argues that it does, explaining that love must be structured according to its highest principle—God. Meanwhile, Augustine of Hippo recounts his misguided devotion to astrology, exposing the dangers of trusting in fate over divine providence. These theological reflections challenge us to reconsider how we prioritize love, wisdom, and truth in our lives.
