Fr Gregory just making this pregnant mom of 3 under 4 cry hysterically as I’m doing dishes during nap time…😭😭😭 Rare for a priest/religious to SEE the heart of a mother so well. Thank you.
I cried when fr Pine mentioned mothers need to take naps with their babies. Thank you. I felt like in that moment this guilt buried in me was relieved. This episode had so much wisdom. I am absolutely so grateful. Thank you so much!
I love this. I need to work on parenting my melancholic son. He’s 10 and I would love to encourage him to a vocation but he is so easily discouraged. This podcast has helped guide my mothering . Thank you!
Thank you Father Pine, once again, for sharing your knowledge of God’s love and mercy with us. I joy in listening to the, “Good News,” expressed with wisdom, humor and beauty in your skillful dance with words.
I always love listening to Fr. Pine and it was great to hear him talk specifically to motherhood! Thank you, Lila, for bringing him on the show! As someone who struggles with meekness, I really appreciated his encouragement. It seemed like Lila was pushing back against gentle parenting. Gentle parenting leads with empathy not only for your kids' emotions, but also being gentle with yourself as a parent. If you're interested in a Catholic book on "gentle parenting," Bonnie Landry's Revolution of Mercy is great! She would make a wonderful guest too.
My husband is full Italian and I'm Irish and French mostly...the segment about love and or yelling helped so much ❤ not an acceptance of sin but a balanced talk about the passions and how it applies to parenting. Thank you so much!!
Made it on time!!!!🎉 Got my EarPods, got plenty of time to stay tuned while I run doing house work, before I head over to my kid's school. Thank you Lila for your great work!
Listening in from the UK. Love your content, Lila - it's the best. Really encouraging for the catholic life. Would love to have you in the UK one day - at our March for Life maybe? Thanks for being such an inspiration
Good morning, Lila! Hope you and everyone here is having a good day! Thank you for having Father Gregory Pine on to share about the Holy Genius, Saint Thomas Aquinas! I hope you enjoy these quotes and Bible verses. "Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest." -St. Augustine "To love is to will the good of another." -St. Thomas Aquinas "The things we love tell us what we are." -Saint Thomas Aquinas Proverbs 4:23 With all vigilance guard your heart, for in it are the sources of life. And 2 Timothy 4:1-5 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry. Romans 12:2 Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. John 14:30-31 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over me, but the world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up, let us go. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. John 17: 20-21 '“I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." Hope you Lila, your family, Father Gregory Pine, and everyone here has a light-filled peaceful joyful blessed Happy Freedom Faith-over-Fear Friday!
Praying to our Lord Jesus to help us grow in virtue through the intercession of Saint Thomas Aquinas (patron saint of students, philosophers/theologians, educators/teachers, Catholic Colleges, and all universities). Hope this is helpful! Virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do good. The four cardinal virtues- 1. Prudence= disposes the practical reason to discern, in every circumstance, our true good and to choose the right means for achieving it. 2. Justice = Justice consists in the firm and constant will to give God and neighbor their due. 3. Fortitude= Fortitude ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in the pursuit of the good. 4. Temperance= Temperance moderates the attraction of the pleasures of the senses and provides balance in the use of created goods. The three theological virtues= 1. Faith= we believe in God and believe all that He has revealed to us and that Holy Church proposes for our belief. 2. Hope= we desire, and with steadfast trust await from God, eternal life and the graces to merit it. 3. Charity= we love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves for love of God. Charity, the form of all the virtues, "binds everything together in perfect harmony" (Col 3:14).
Lots of wisdom in this podcast for mothers and fathers! I encourage parents to read: (free book pdf download on Formed) Louis and Zelie Martin were parents who would become saints - even they had a difficult child they worried about, difficult neighbours, difficult influences on their children (their maid)... instead of blocking people out of their lives, they dealt with every challenge in a God-first approach.
Man I feel the being used thing. There are people in my life who are always drowning. And I find myself starting to drown with them trying to help them. This year I am stepping away from all of that to focus on God more. I kinda realized after read a book on decerning the voice of God by Mathew Kelly. That the same people who are drowning all the time because they make bad choices and expect me to always rescue them, are also the same people who are drowning the voice of God in my life. I'm hoping a year away from everyone (other then my husband) will bring about a greater understanding of God and what he's calling me too. After all even Jesus needed some time separated from everyone to be close to The Father. 💖 (I have no kids or I would of included them with my husband)
Romans 8:28 KJV "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose. 29 For whom HE did foreknow, HE also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of HIS SON, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom HE did predestinate, them HE also called: and whom HE called, them HE also justified: and whom HE justified, them HE also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, who can be against us? 33 who shall lay any thing to the charge of GOD’s elect? It is GOD that justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? It is CHRIST that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of GOD, Who also makes intercession for us."
On one hand, yes, honor where honor is due. On the other, Saint Thomas Aquinas is a mouthful to say repeatedly, and in a longform discussion it makes sense to just say Aquinas.
Obviously Fr Pine is a smart man, and there's always a grain of truth to the idea (as he mentions) that you don't need to be smart to be holy.... but Aquinas himself says that the will proceeds from the intellect, and hence the more that we understand virtue and truth, the easier it will be to be holy. That's why we promote the dignity of education while so many other faith traditions criticize and limit education. So again I can appreciate that he's a priest trying to make it seem like everyone can be a saint, but I think the unintended consequences of this attitude over the last 70 years is a palpable laziness amongst the faithful. An attitude of saying that "someone knows about virtue and truth, so I don't have to". And that's a real shame.
I grew up with felt banner CCD, so I think I can understand your frustration. But I think what Fr. Pine is saying is that education needs to fit your real life. A mom of young children probably cannot spend six hours per day poring over Aquinas. But she can turn to Fr. Pine’s Aquinas 101, or his Godsplaining podcast, or Ascension Press videos and podcasts…I think he’s recommending that each of us choose the type of education that fits the life we have.
@ my point is that the act of seeking to educate oneself is edifying per se. Choose Aquinas or something else but seek something. Seeking nothing is the problem. And i think Fr Pine wouldn't disagree with that but his rhetoric in this conversation I feel allows someone to walk away from this podcast and say "I don't *need* to do anything"
@@MMichiganSalveRegina: I agree with you: choose something, try to educate yourself somehow. I wonder if Fr. Pine was thinking of the “hustle culture”? There is now a staggering richness of free Catholic educational offerings, which is marvelous, but I wonder if people might feel they’re not “enough” if they don’t take it all in? My Gram was very active in her parish, and *lived* her faith beautifully, but I don’t think she had Bible studies and the like. I think they focused more on living out the faith, and they had traditions and examples to follow. Everyone took dinner to sick neighbors. Everyone volunteered at the church in some way, and looked out for each other’s children. They didn’t consult the Catechism, or study Aquinas. And that was OK. They lived exemplary lives, basking in the love of God and radiating it. They prayed the rosary, but they didn’t have the Rosary in a Year podcast. They lived the works of mercy, but I wonder if they could recite them. Not everyone lives a highly abstract intellectual life. Not everyone is cut out for that. I agree with you that it’s important to keep educating ourselves, but maybe education is broad? Maybe attending the parish women’s group, or men’s group, is a pretty decent education for many people. My natural inclination is to pore over Aquinas, but I gain such a different and valuable type of whole-person education from our parish women’s fellowship. That said: I do understand your concern about people not seeking any kind of education, and I think it’s legitimate.
For him giving up reading it’s a good thing bc he is very busy in something noble but for a woman that wants to be working and not raising her children when there is no need to have that big house or whatever that is not noble that is being selfish sorry for the mamas outer that they working and not raising a good society for our grandkids I’m only 49 yrs old..
Im a simple man, if I see aquinas, fr. Pine, and Lila Rose, I click
I always see her community page, but I've never watched an episode. This one caught my attention.

“You’re a gift and you’re a gift to your family.” **cue the tears of an overwhelmed mom** I needed to hear that today❤
Oh my goodness! Fr. Pine’s definition of love around 8:30 absolutely blew my heart open. Amazing. Praise God. Thank you for having him on the podcast.
I feel like I’m getting a personal spiritual direction watching this 😅
Thanks for this interview, Lila and Fr Pine!
I love this. I need to work on parenting my melancholic son. He’s 10 and I would love to encourage him to a vocation but he is so easily discouraged. This podcast has helped guide my mothering . Thank you!

What did st. Edith stein tell to her Mother Superior????
I'm sorry Lila but that was a such a great moment that you interrupted😣😣
