Theology of Vocation with St. Thomas Aquinas (video)


April 3, 2017

Fr. Gregory Pine OP offers an introduction on the theology of vocation according to the principles of St. Thomas Aquinas. He considers first how Christian identity, vocation, mission, and destiny issue from and return to Trinitarian communion, giving glory to God in the rich beauty of varied and diverse states. He gives special consideration to the role of virtuous desires. In the end it comes down to the question of how each Christian is uniquely suited to tell forth the glory of God. He concludes by ruling out certain bad understandings of vocational discernment and applying the principles to the religious life in particular.
