Beware of the False: Lessons from St. Thomas Aquinas on Wolves, Hirelings, and Shepherds

Hello Friend! Thank you for joining me on today’s episode of A Little More Inspired! On this episode, I will be diving into a medieval sermon I stumbled upon by St. Thomas Aquinas, called Beware of The False. I found the sermon to be deeply inspiring, moving, and very relevant to today's modern times. The sermon begins with the concept that "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak," and explores how wrongdoing can arise from both the flesh and the spirit. The flesh leads us down paths of self-indulgence and lack of boundaries. But what about the spirit? How does the spirit lead us into wrongdoing? St. Thomas explains that this happens when the spirit is deceived because of its own ignorance. St. Thomas Aquinas was a spiritual leader who sought to build a bridge between reason and faith, believing that both must work hand in hand to maintain balance. His sermon emphasizes the mistakes we can make when our spirit is left to ignorance. We become limited, unable to discern the authenticity of individuals who may not mean us well. In this sermon, St. Thomas breaks down the three types of people we encounter in this world: the Shepherds, the Wolves, and the Hirelings. Join me as I share what I learned from this insightful sermon that left me feeling super inspired. I hope this leaves you feeling a little more inspired.
