The Eighth Sunday After Pentecost

The Eighth Sunday After Pentecost

Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, who knowest our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion, we beseech thee, upon our infirmities, and those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, mercifully give us for the worthiness of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 11)

This week: “The third day he rose again from the dead.”

One of the last things Aquinas composed before he turned to silence and then shortly thereafter died, was a series of Lenten sermons on the Apostles’ Creed. Probably given in 1273, these talks show the master as also a pastor who cares that ordinary Christians appreciate the basic tenents of the faith.

In this series of summer talks on Sunday mornings, Father Austin hopes to open up some of the theological depths of the Creed with the help of the greatest medieval theologian.

The book is illustrated nearby for those who wish to read further. It is not necessary for the class.
