Dominicans are doing a great job with these videos.

"we're saved by Grace, not by natural acquisitions of knowledge" that statement sums it up. 🙏👍

[lukeabbott]

I imagine St. Thomas looking exactly like this man.

[ritajensen]

I am a cradle-Catholic and grew up in a devoutly Catholic home, but have learned so much from your presentations. Thank you to all the Fathers at the Thomistic Inst for helping me grow in faith both spiritually and intellectually. I know God is smiling down on you.

I love the subtle nod that life starts at conception just thrown in

Jesus is present in the Eucharist. I know that Jesus is there for us to adore Him. I believe that Jesus started to call me in 2007, that was when I started more involved with prayer and started looking for a Church that was open during the day so I could go there and stay awhile in prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Then I called my church, which was closed during the day, and someone told me of a church where there the Eucharist was exposed for adoration.

St. Thomas is indeed a wonderful gift of God to the Church. Incredible is his lucid mind🙏🙏🙏

Funny story.
One day me and my 5yr old daughter were bored.
So I taught her how to spell
TRANSUBSTANTIATION.
tran • sub • stan • tia • tion
The very next day in kindergarten
Her teacher told the class
“Write down all the words u know how to spell.”
So my daughter wrote it down.
The teacher walked by and said
“That’s not a word”
And kept on walking.
My daughter was so mad at me!!! LoL

This priest is now the Rector of the angelicum in Rome. Congratulations Father!

[PInkW]

Oh Godhead hid
Devoutly I adore thee
Who truly art
within the forms Before me
To thee my heart I bow
With bended knee
As failing quite in
Contemplating thee

For further clarification to this, the host and the wine are not merely transubstantiated into the Body and Blood respectively, but both the host and the wine are transubstantiated into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ (the formula of expression of the Church). Just for those who are under the impression that they must consume both the host and the wine. Each is fully Jesus in His totality.

[andromedamaxima]

“we are saved by Grace not by natural acquisition of knowledge”… this is powerful and very logical, isn’t the world filled with people who have a wealth of knowledge but whose souls are condemned to hell?! Let alone those who are not even wise, and have no faith nor grace… those are perpetually disgraced, as they live a life similar to a similar to a serpent in this world… Let us pray for our blessed Lord to increase the faith in the hearts of men, because from Faith, everything else is possible and derives.

[tomgreene]

Excellent presentation in such a short time.

[maryjohnstone]

I was watching a Brian Holdsworth video about YouTubers worth watching, I saw your face and said, "That [guy] is from that band I like! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!". So here I am subscribing: keep on a pickin and a grinnin!

[hismajesty]

I was raised in a non denominational church, and I’m currently considering either Catholicism or a very classical Protestant tradition. Thank you for this video.

[maryjohnstone]
