What is Prudence?
Matthew Barrett sits down with Dominican friar Fr. Gregory Pine to explore the meaning of prudence. Together, they discuss Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of prudence as “right reason in things to be done” or the virtue that takes counsel, makes judgments, and ultimately commands. During the conversation, they consider moral theology, human limitations, and the freedom that comes from choosing well and faithfully acting upon those choices.
Dad, why are we kneeling?
Theologian Greg Peters recently said to me in a conversation, “If the prayer of humble access does not make you an Anglican, I don’t know what will.” I found this to be so true in my life. Maybe you have, too. To kneel to receive Jesus’ body and blood. Have you thought about this? To kneel before our Lord, to stretch out your hands, to receive his means of grace. This is the posture of a sinner. I remember when my children first started to ask questions: “Dad, we’re going forward now.
What is Moral Theology?
Matthew Barrett sits down with Dominican friar Fr. Gregory Pine to explore how virtue and happiness go hand in hand. Virtue is not some kind of dreadful obligation or duty. Instead, virtue facilitates happiness because it forms the soul to love the good until choosing good becomes natural and even joyful. During the conversation, they consider acquired and infused virtue, the danger of vice, and how grace heals the whole person.
