Lesson Nine of Theological and Cardinal Virtues, with Fr Gregory Pine, OP, BA, STL, Assistant Director for Campus Outreach at the Thomistic Institute.
When a man vows all that he has, all that he lives, and all that he understands to God, it is a holocaust." St. Gregory the Great
The genius of religious vows is that it is a Holocaust, a declaration that God, the creator and end of all is worthy of one's whole heart, a sacrifice solemnly effected by a devout self-offering.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
