Through the Church Fathers: December 15

The thread running through today’s readings is the sheer generosity of God: Athanasius shows how the Word pursued humanity through creation, prophecy, and finally by taking a body; Augustine teaches that prayer itself is a school of desire drawing us toward the life to come; and Aquinas explains how moral virtues differ because different parts of us need to be healed and ordered by reason (Romans 8:24).Readings:Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation, Sections 12–14Augustine of Hippo, Letter 130 to Proba (Final Sections)Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1–2, Question 60, Article 5Explore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org#Athanasius #ChurchFathers #Augustine #Proba #SummaTheologica #Virtue #HistoricalTheology
