Their response? They immediately offered prayers of thanksgiving and sang the ancient hymn Regina Caeli. The beauty of their unwavering faith and hope has since gone viral, inspiring millions. Their GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-halpin-familys-home-loss Check out our sponsors:-Exodus 90: Grow spiritually, mentally, and physically with thousands of other men:  https://get.exodus90.com/lila-EveryLife: https://www.everylife.com Buy diapers from an amazing pro-life diaper company and use code LILA and get 10% off!

Join me for an inspiring conversation with author and theologian Dr. Scott Hahn as he shares his remarkable journey from a rebellious teenager to a devoted follower of Jesus. Dr. Hahn recounts his transformative discovery of the Catholic Church through scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers—an experience that challenged his biases, strained friendships, and even tested his marriage. At the heart of this discussion is a profound exploration of the Eucharist, the central focus of the Mass, and its rich foreshadowing in biblical references to the sacrifice of the lamb.

What advice does Thomas Aquinas have for the modern person, especially the modern parent? Have you ever felt that something might be missing in modern parenting trends, like gentle parenting? In today’s episode, Father Gregory Pine introduces us to an ancient practice that has shaped children for centuries: virtue ethics. First explored by classical philosophers like Aristotle and later popularized in the Middle Ages by St. Thomas Aquinas, virtue ethics remains central to the Church’s teachings on character formation. Father Pine, drawing from his deep knowledge of St. Thomas Aquinas, offers practical guidance for parents seeking to cultivate virtues like justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude in their children. Raising children to be happy and holy adults can feel daunting, but this episode is essential for empowering parents to nurture future saints. Additionally, Father Pine shares his personal journey—how he discovered his vocation and developed a passion for St. Thomas Aquinas’ teachings. I hope this conversation inspires and equips you to approach parenting with a renewed perspective and practical tools.Check Out Fr Gregory's work:Aquinas 101: https://aquinas101.com/Godsplaining Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Godsplaining Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!
