The Tenth Sunday After Pentecost

The Tenth Sunday After Pentecost

O Lord, we beseech thee, let thy continual pity cleanse and defend thy Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without thy succor, preserve it evermore by thy help and goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 13)

This week: “From thence he shall come again to judge the living and 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.
