The Third Sunday After Pentecost

Keep, O Lord, we beseech thee, thy household the Church in thy steadfast faith and love, that by the help of thy grace we may proclaim thy truth with boldness, and minister thy justice with compassion; for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 6)

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.
