"There is a profound & mysterious relationship between music & hope, between song & eternal life." — Benedict XVI

This Holy Week, conflict has left the holy sites quieter than they've been in living memory. Tonight, let us sing in solidarity.

Today we celebrate Our Lady of Lourdes, who brings healing to those who seek her.
As Lent approaches, discover the Ave Regina Caelorum—the Marian antiphon asking Our Lady to accompany us through this season of spiritual healing.

Blessed Feast of St. Scholastica! Did you know that St. Scholastica once prevented St. Benedict, her twin brother, from leaving by praying for a storm?

Annie Mitchell shared the beautiful story in last night's pre-class.

"Nothing other than you, Lord."

This was St. Thomas Aquinas' response when Christ asked what reward he desired for his theological work.

Dr. Jared Staudt on St. Thomas Aquinas—the Dominican friar who showed us that faith and reason lead to the same truth: Christ.

"When the same Father Anthony meditated on the depth of the judgment of God, he asked, “Lord, how is it that some die when they are young, while others drag on to extreme old age? And why are some poor and others rich? Why do wicked people prosper and why are the just in need? He heard a voice answering him, “Anthony, keep your attention on yourself; these things are according to the judgment of God, and it is not to your benefit to know anything about them." – from the Sayings of the Desert Fathers. Today, 17 January, is the feast of the Father of Monasticism, St Anthony of Egypt.

St. Anthony's radical desert life inspired the great rules of Basil, Benedict & Augustine that would shape Christian life for centuries.

Starting Jan. 26 explore that wisdom with @Fatherboniface & Fr. Sebastian Walshe of @stmichaelsabbey.

"What good work shall I do?"
St. Antony replied: "All works are not equal. Abraham was hospitable &God was with him. Elijah loved quiet & God was with him. David was humble & God was with him. What your soul desires in following God, that do & keep your heart." 🧵

One day, on his way to church St. Anthony heard the Gospel: "go, sell all you have, give the money to the poor... come & follow me." He took it as a sign from God & gave up everything to live with Christ in the desert, attracting many who wanted the same way of life.

Tomorrow: @ccpecknold returns for an exploration of Augustine's City of God

When Rome fell, pagans blamed Christians for the empire's collapse.

Augustine's response became one of the greatest works in Western civilization.
