    After two years of cancer surgeries & treatment, a divorce, and the death of my mother my cry’s were gut wrenching. I cried for another two years. Then I quit my job and moved back to be near my family to be loved and heal. Spent valuable time volunteering at St Vincent De Paul. It was a very blessed period.

    Thank you all for your prayers as I had to tell my parents of my conversion to the true Church of Jesus Christ, the Roman Catholic Church. It wasn’t easy but it was right. Glory to Jesus Christ, who gives us grace for every trial. Thank you to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary and to Saint Michael (my patron) for their unending prayers and intercessions. Thank you Matt, Fr. Schmitz, Fr. Pine, and Fr. Favole-Mihm at Mater Dei in Dallas for your work and prayers. Pax Christi.

    It's funny how the episode ended with St. Bonaventure, because I love St. Bonaventure for his being a patron of bowel issues. I have the weakest of stomachs; issuesof my stomach arise in the least favorable of times and the most unwanted of circumstances (not sure why), and for many times I've asked St Bonaventure for a little help. I'm pretty sure he is my good holy friend in heaven.

  • @Glassimagination

    Just happened upon this channel while researching Aquinas to aid in study of his Summa. I don’t believe in saints or elevated humans, but I do believe, with all my heart, soul, and strength, in GOD.
    True we cannot “know” GOD with our puny minds, but we can know all about Him by His Works which is all that exists-so it is pretty easy to be impressed by all that miraculous stuff. Lots more to say, but it’s pretty ridiculous to talk about GOD with text messages.

    43:50 Matt, you are saying that, according to Aquinas, Jesus had a guardian angel.
    Totally false: in Summa I, Q. 113, Art. 4, a much sober Aquinas objects against this very statement writing that:
    "Christ as man was guided immediately by the Word of God: wherefore He needed not be guarded by an angel. Again as regards His soul, He was a comprehensor, although in regard to His passible body, He was a wayfarer. In this latter respect it was right that He should have not a guardian angel as superior to Him, but a ministering angel as inferior to Him. Whence it is written (Matthew 4:11) that "angels came and ministered to Him."
    Still, can you point me the article that backs your...funny idea? Thanks!
