The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost

O God, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 12)

This week: “He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father.”

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.
