140: Intro to Aquinas (Yeeeey!)

In this first episode, Jon Leonetti breaks down the first two Stations of the Cross. Jon shares a memory of loss, and he introduces the theme of Stay Strong. As you watch this video reflect on the following questions.

Reflection Questions
1. When you are facing adversity and someone tells you to stay strong, what does that mean to you? 

2. Jon sheds light on Jesus' condemnation to death in the First Station by reflecting on Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. What adversities and trials are you having to face? Are you returning to God in prayer to seek strength? Are you surrendering to God's will in times of adversity? When you reflect on the First Station remember how Jesus prepared for his trial before Pontius Pilot.

3. Reflecting on Jesus picking up his cross in the Second Station, Jon focuses on the weight of the cross. Are you feeling the weight of the crosses you have to carry? Are you feeling weak under that weight? When reflecting on the Second Station invite God to be your strength when you are feeling weak.

Here's the text we read from Aquinas: I answer that, It behooved Christ to rise again, for five reasons. First of all; for the commendation of Divine Justice, to which it belongs to exalt them who humble themselves for God's sake, according to Luke 1:52: "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." Consequently, because Christ humbled Himself even to the death of the Cross, from love and obedience to God, it behooved Him to be uplifted by God to a glorious resurrection; hence it is said in His Person (Psalm 138:2): "Thou hast known," i.e. approved, "my sitting down," i.e. My humiliation and Passion, "and my rising up," i.e. My glorification in the resurrection; as the gloss expounds. Secondly, for our instruction in the faith, since our belief in Christ's Godhead is confirmed by His rising again, because, according to 2 Corinthians 13:4, "although He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God." And therefore it is written (1 Corinthians 15:14): "If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and our [Vulgate: 'your'] faith is also vain": and (Psalm 29:10): "What profit is there in my blood?" that is, in the shedding of My blood, "while I go down," as by various degrees of evils, "into corruption?" As though He were to answer: "None. 'For if I do not at once rise again but My body be corrupted, I shall preach to no one, I shall gain no one,'" as the gloss expounds. Thirdly, for the raising of our hope, since through seeing Christ, who is our head, rise again, we hope that we likewise shall rise again. Hence it is written (1 Corinthians 15:12): "Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?" And (Job 19:25-27): "I know," that is with certainty of faith, "that my Redeemer," i.e. Christ, "liveth," having risen from the dead; "and" therefore "in the last day I shall rise out of the earth . . . this my hope is laid up in my bosom." Fourthly, to set in order the lives of the faithful: according to Romans 6:4: "As Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life": and further on; "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more; so do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive to God."

155: 5 reasons Christ rose from the dead, W/ Trent Horn

As much as we hear about pornography in today’s world, there’s something we don’t hear about all that much: how women struggle with it. This week on “Pints with Aquinas,” I welcome Rachael Killackey, who shares her own story about struggling with pornography and the practical insights she’s learned in her healing journey, including:  - Why women experience pornography differently than men  - Who you should (and should not) ask to be an accountability partner  - How to confess an addiction to porn to someone without it being awkward  - Why you shouldn’t be on social media if you struggle with pornography   <a href= "https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a>   SPONSORS Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Homeschool Connections: <a href= "https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/">https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/</a>   GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href= "https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.
