Episcopal Priest * Husband * Father of three sons * Computer x Church x Music = Nerd^3 * Lover of Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the Book of Common Prayer
A thoroughly brilliant presentation by Father Matthew Dallman on the life and writing of Father Martin Thornton! Father Dallman is the executor of the intellectual estate of Father Thornton, one of Anglicanism's greatest theologians and a master of the spiritual life.

@turtology I think this illustrates Pageau's very point. What do you mean by "being saved" in your statement? Pageau says that the assurance of our salvation is Christ and that it is Christ that makes us to participate in salvation. The question is, what is the nature of salvation?
"For today not only are we confirmed as possessors of paradise, but have also in Christ penetrated the heights of heaven, and have gained still greater things through Christ's unspeakable grace than we had lost through the devil's malice." - St. Leo the Great, Sermon 73
Origen: "In the beginning God made heaven and earth. What is the beginning of all things except our Lord and Savior of all, Jesus Christ, the first born of every creature? ... Scripture is not speaking here of any temporal beginning, but it says that the heaven and the earth and all things which were made were made in the beginning, that is, in the Savior."
(Homilies on Genesis, 1.1)
Let us remember that God is in us, and that we are in Him: we are His workmanship, let us not deface it: we are in His presence, let us not pollute it by unholy and impure actions. 'God hath also wrought all our works in us' (Is 26.12), and because He rejoices in His own works, if we defile them, and make them unpleasant to Him, we walk perversely with God and He will walk crookedly toward us.
(Holy Living, I.iii)
Let everything you see, represent to your spirit the presence, the excellency and the power of God, and let your conversation with the creatures lead you unto the Creator; for so shall your actions be done more frequently with an actual eye to God's presence by your often, seeing Him in the glass of the creation.
(Holy Living, I.iii)
It is likely our hearts are pure and our intentions spotless, when we are not solicitous of the opinion and censures of men, but only that we do our duty and be accepted of God.
(Holy Living, I.ii)
This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime events. One of the craziest things about this is that there is an actual rule on the books about it! If the ball ends up in someone’s clothes it is out of play. It is not considered a catch, so it is not an out.
Introduced my kids to Angine de Poitrine. They couldn't stop laughing.
But this band might be the best thing that's ever happened to music in the new age of AI. https://t.co/UfrGrptLjI
