Kingdom of the Poor

Posted by Dr. John Bergsma on 01.31.11

In the readings for last week’s Sunday Mass, we saw Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy (Isaiah 9) that a divine king, a Son of David, would appear in the north of Israel and give light to the people there.

In the readings for todays’ Mass (4th Sunday of Ordinary Time), we see Jesus explaining what kind of kingdom he rules: a kingdom of the “poor in Spirit”:

When Jesus saw the crowds, he...  [Continue Reading]

Aquinas: The Biblical Approach of the Model Catholic Theologian

Posted by Dr. Michael Barber on 01.28.11

Today is the Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas!

Posted by Dr. Brant Pitre on 01.20.11

With the coming the New Year, a number of blogs gave recommended readings for the upcoming year. I’d like to do the same, and recommend two books to read carefully over the course of the coming year.

Word Association

Posted by Dr. Scott Hahn on 01.05.11

Christmas came early for me in 2010. My biggest present arrived, date-stamped from the Vatican, in my email in mid-November. It was Pope Benedict’s new missive, the apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini (“The Word of the Lord”) — the most important magisterial document on Sacred Scripture in nearly half a century.

The Word of God is Pope Benedict’s highest...  [Continue Reading]
