A cordless drill is the most important power tool you’ll buy. It’s the one you’ll rely on for big projects, such as building a deck and remodeling a kitchen, and for smaller tasks, like installing fixtures and assembling furniture. You might even need your drill to service other tools.

That's NOT The Point!  w/ Mthr. Natalia

Thanks for listening! Here's the text I read from the Summa II-II, Q.2 (articles 1,2, and 3). I answer that, "To think" can be taken in three ways. First, in a general way for any kind of actual consideration of the intellect, as Augustine observes (De Trin. xiv, 7): "By understanding I mean now the faculty whereby we understand when thinking." Secondly, "to think" is more strictly taken for that consideration of the intellect, which is accompanied by some kind of inquiry, and which precedes the intellect's arrival at the stage of perfection that comes with the certitude of sight. On this sense Augustine says (De Trin. xv, 16) that "the Son of God is not called the Thought, but the Word of God. When our thought realizes what we know and takes form therefrom, it becomes our word. Hence the Word of God must be understood without any thinking on the part of God, for there is nothing there that can take form, or be unformed." In this way thought is, properly speaking, the movement of the mind while yet deliberating, and not yet perfected by the clear sight of truth. Since, however, such a movement of the mind may be one of deliberation either about universal notions, which belongs to the intellectual faculty, or about particular matters, which belongs to the sensitive part, hence it is that "to think" is taken secondly for an act of the deliberating intellect, and thirdly for an act of the cogitative power. Accordingly, if "to think" be understood broadly according to the first sense, then "to think with assent," does not express completely what is meant by "to believe": since, in this way, a man thinks with assent even when he considers what he knows by science [Science is certain knowledge of a demonstrated conclusion through its demonstration.], or understands. If, on the other hand, "to think" be understood in the second way, then this expresses completely the nature of the act of believing. For among the acts belonging to the intellect, some have a firm assent without any such kind of thinking, as when a man considers the things that he knows by science, or understands, for this consideration is already formed. But some acts of the intellect have unformed thought devoid of a firm assent, whether they incline to neither side, as in one who "doubts"; or incline to one side rather than the other, but on account of some slight motive, as in one who "suspects"; or incline to one side yet with fear of the other, as in one who "opines." But this act "to believe," cleaves firmly to one side, in which respect belief has something in common with science and understanding; yet its knowledge does not attain the perfection of clear sight, wherein it agrees with doubt, suspicion and opinion. Hence it is proper to the believer to think with assent: so that the act of believing is distinguished from all the other acts of the intellect, which are about the true or the false. (Article 1)   I answer that, The act of any power or habit depends on the relation of that power or habit to its object. Now the object of faith can be considered in three ways. For, since "to believe" is an act of the intellect, in so far as the will moves it to assent, as stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3), the object of faith can be considered either on the part of the intellect, or on the part of the will that moves the intellect. If it be considered on the part of the intellect, then two things can be observed in the object of faith, as stated above (II-II:1:1). One of these is the material object of faith, and in this way an act of faith is "to believe in a God"; because, as stated above (II-II:1:1) nothing is proposed to our belief, except in as much as it is referred to God. The other is the formal aspect of the object, for it is the medium on account of which we assent to such and such a point of faith; and thus an act of faith is "to believe God," since, as stated above (II-II:1:1) the formal object of faith is the First Truth, to Which man gives his adhesion, so as to assent to Its sake to whatever he believes. Thirdly, if the object of faith be considered in so far as the intellect is moved by the will, an act of faith is "to believe in God." For the First Truth is referred to the will, through having the aspect of an end.  (Article 2) I answer that, Wherever one nature is subordinate to another, we find that two things concur towards the perfection of the lower nature, one of which is in respect of that nature's proper movement, while the other is in respect of the movement of the higher nature. Thus water by its proper movement moves towards the centre (of the earth), while according to the movement of the moon, it moves round the centre by ebb and flow. On like manner the planets have their proper movements from west to east, while in accordance with the movement of the first heaven, they have a movement from east to west. Now the created rational nature alone is immediately subordinate to God, since other creatures do not attain to the universal, but only to something particular, while they partake of the Divine goodness either in "being" only, as inanimate things, or also in "living," and in "knowing singulars," as plants and animals; whereas the rational nature, in as much as it apprehends the universal notion of good and being, is immediately related to the universal principle of being. Consequently the perfection of the rational creature consists not only in what belongs to it in respect of its nature, but also in that which it acquires through a supernatural participation of Divine goodness. Hence it was said above (I-II:3:8) that man's ultimate happiness consists in a supernatural vision of God: to which vision man cannot attain unless he be taught by God, according to John 6:45: "Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to Me." Now man acquires a share of this learning, not indeed all at once, but by little and little, according to the mode of his nature: and every one who learns thus must needs believe, in order that he may acquire science in a perfect degree; thus also the Philosopher remarks (De Soph. Elench. i, 2) that "it behooves a learner to believe." Hence in order that a man arrive at the perfect vision of heavenly happiness, he must first of all believe God, as a disciple believes the master who is teaching him.

158: Aquinas on the act of faith

In today's episode, hosts John Heinen and Sam Guzman discuss the 3 foundational pillars of a man's life. These 3 pillars were broken at the fall of man, yet until we understand these pillars and how to work with them, we will always be running in circles instead of persevering and moving forward in our lives. We also discuss the most transformative new platform for men to get answers to their questions, grow in holiness with other men, and receive constant new content and challenges.🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com 🔴 Learn more about your ad choices.

An Exorcist Tells of the Power of Relics with guest Father Carlos Martins

Ever feel like you’re just trying to survive the chaos—leading at home, showing up at work, holding it together through grief—but inside you're wondering, is this really what God meant by "abundant life?" Jeff Cavins gets it. Sean and Jeff dive deep into what it actually means to be a disciple—not a fan, not a cultural Catholic, but a man on mission. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/brotherhood">Join the Heroic Brotherhood</a>Jeff opens up about the moment he knew—at 18 years old—he was called to teach Scripture for the rest of his life. But this isn’t a highlight reel. He shares how he kept going through loss—literally stepping on stage to speak the moment he found out his dad had passed. They talk about spiritual burnout, the loneliness men don’t admit, and the surprising power of talking to God out loud in your car.This one’s for the guys who want more than Sunday Mass. It’s for men hungry for brotherhood, purpose, and a real encounter with Christ. You’ll learn how to use Lexio Divina, how to mentor others, and why the world needs men who lead even in suffering. Bonus: you’ll never hear the song “25 or 6 to 4” the same again.

Silence, Suffering & Showing Up—What God Taught Me at 3AM | Jeff Cavins

&quot;Do we truly have free will when AI controls what we see, hear and focus on? AI doesn&#39;t make your choices. It controls your attention, shaping the options you don&#39;t even know exist. It&#39;s not designed for your wellbeing, only to keep your eyes glued to the screen.&quot; Join us for an enlightening conversation with Dr. Edward Tse, AI expert and founder of AI Parenting, as we explore the complex intersection of free will, artificial intelligence, and social media in today&#39;s digital landscape. Our discussion explores: - How AI functions as &quot;power on the internet to control attention&quot; rather than just a technological tool- The concerning parallels between modern digital environments and historical power structures- Why social media algorithms are essentially designed to &quot;amplify sin&quot; through engagement metrics- The dramatic mental health impacts seen in teens since smartphones became ubiquitous around 2010- How echo chambers limit our exposure to diverse perspectives, potentially undermining genuine free will- The importance of developing core beliefs that can&#39;t be manipulated by digital content- Practical ways to regain control of your digital experience, from curating content to setting boundaries- Why understanding AI&#39;s social impact is more important than learning to code- The need for more Catholic voices in digital spaces, despite the challenges Dr. Tse shares fascinating insights from his 15+ years in AI research, explaining how our &quot;digital souls&quot; are being shaped by algorithms designed to maximize watch time and engagement rather than our wellbeing. He suggests that rather than attempting complete digital abstinence, we should focus on understanding AI&#39;s mechanics and developing strong moral foundations to navigate it wisely. This is essential wisdom for parents concerned about raising children in a digital world and for anyone seeking to maintain authentic free will in an environment increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

Fr. Mark Goring on Proclaiming Jesus, Discerning Priesthood, and the Viganò Affair | Ep. 239

Louis Damani Jones is a “Fellow” at the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement located at Washington University in St. Louis. Louis produced “The Ark and Dove” podcast, which investigated the complex dynamics of race and religion in America through the lens of the Black Catholic Church.In this episode, Deacon Charlie and Louis discuss the Black Catholic experience as it relates to both the unity and diversity within the Church. They also touch on ways to live an integrated life of faith, how to break down barriers in evangelization…and share their thoughts on how the Second Vatican Council and Pope Francis have engaged with the modern world.Ark and the Dove: <a href="https://www.balthasarmedia.com/ark-dove" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.balthasarmedia.com/ark-dove</a>Living the Call Podcast: <a href="https://www.call-usa.org/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.call-usa.org/podcast</a>Spoke Street Media: <a href="https://Spokestreet.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spokestreet.com</a>
