Psalms – The School of Prayer

The Holy Spirit inspired the Psalms. The Israelites sang them in worship to God. Mary, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Christ Himself prayed the Psalms. At the heart of the Scriptures are the Psalms that God gave us, teaching us to pray effectively. In this 12-week DVD and Study Guide, we learn the sacred hymns and how to respond to God’s loving and wondrous deeds for us.

THE AQUINAS CATECHISM: THE APOSTLES CREED
A Simple Explanation of the Catholic Faith by the Church’s Greatest

Theologian
Tuesday 6:30 pm-8:00 pm
September 3 – November 19, 2024

The Aquinas Catechism is based upon a series of sermons by Saint
Thomas Aquinas during Lent, 1273 AD, just prior to his death. The purpose was to lead people to holiness. Historical reports indicate that
Aquinas’s sermons were popular and heard by the entire population of
Naples. Over 12 weeks, this book study will focus on Aquinas’s detailed
explanations of the contents of the Apostles Creed, which had been
handed down from the Apostolic Fathers.

Aquinas addresses:

(1) What the Creed says.

(2) What the statements in the Creed mean.

(3) What modifications to the Creed were made by the Council of Nicaea in the 4th century.

Such modifications to the Apostles Creed were necessary to
counter/refute various heresies that arose in the early Church. The
modified version then became known as the Nicene Creed.
