À propos de cet audio
Augustine’s voice is primary here: he asks how inchoate matter or spirit could “deserve” being and insists that receiving created being is pure gift; Origen supplies the metaphysical frame showing how turning to the Word enlightens the darksome deep; Aquinas supplies pastoral-theological purchase by clarifying how the will receives and responds—God grounds the capacity and orders the motion of the will, while proximate interior apprehension determines moral direction. The three readings together sharpen pastoral confidence: created things exist by God’s goodness, human participation is graded and fragile, and the soul’s persistence depends on interior orientation to the divine Form. (Psalm 90:2; Colossians 1:16; Romans 8:29)
Readings:
Augustine, The Confessions, Book 13, Chapter 1
Origen, De Principiis, Book 4, Chapters 35–37
