In Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.’s first conference, the Wonder of the Rosary, from the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, he reflects on the Rosary as more than a prayer we say. It is a relationship. Through the mysteries of the Rosary, Fr. Cameron shows how this prayer meets us in the realities of our lives: our joys and sorrows, our anxieties, our wounds, and the things we cannot solve on our own. The Rosary gives us something to hold on to, but it also reminds us that we are being held. As Fr. Cameron explains, the Rosary is a “lifeline” that unites us to God and draws us deeper into the heart of Christ. The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 25, 2027. 🙏 Learn more and sign up: https://rosarypilgrimage.org 📅 Save the date for the pilgrimage: September 26, 2026 🎥 Subscribe for monthly novenas and pilgrimage updates.

What drove St. Dominic to found the Order of Preachers? For St. Dominic, preaching the Gospel meant persevering even when the work seemed unsuccessful. As a young priest in southern France, Dominic encountered people who had become separated from the truth of the Catholic faith. When others eventually returned home, Dominic remained, determined to continue preaching and bringing souls back to Jesus Christ. In this reflection for the Feast of St. Dominic, Fr. Cyril Stola, O.P., shares how St. Dominic’s grit and determination helped give birth to the Order of Preachers, which continues to preach the Gospel and seek the salvation of souls more than 800 years later. Join the Dominican Friars in giving thanks for the life and witness of St. Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers. Happy Feast of St. Dominic!

In this reflection for the Feast of St. Dominic, Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., shares the story of an encounter that helped inspire St. Dominic's preaching mission. When Dominic met an innkeeper in southern France who misunderstood the truth about himself and the human person, Dominic stayed up through the night helping him understand that he was created in the image and likeness of God. That same reverence for the dignity of every human person continues to animate the Dominican mission today. Just as Christ took on human flesh to make God known to us, the Dominican friars preach the truth of Christ so that people may come to know who they are and who God has created them to be.

Father Thomas Joseph White is a Dominican priest, theologian, and rector of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome. One of the leading Catholic theologians of his generation, his work focuses on metaphysics, Christology, ecclesiology, Thomism, and the relationship between faith and reason. He is the author of numerous books, including The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism. In this conversation, he explores the theological meaning of the Vatican, the papacy, and the Catholic Church's claim to teach with authority in matters of faith and morals. He discusses the role of the Pope, the nature of Catholic doctrine, the relationship between conscience and truth, and how Catholics understand the development and transmission of Christian teaching through history. Father White also reflects on his own conversion to Catholicism, the intellectual foundations of religious belief, and why he believes Christianity continues to attract young people in an increasingly secular age. The discussion addresses skepticism, scientific materialism, the clergy abuse crisis, the relationship between reason and revelation, and the enduring appeal of Catholicism as a comprehensive vision of reality.

In moments of silence, waiting, and uncertainty, we are drawn into the mystery of Christ who enters even into death. In this reflection, Fr. Jonah Teller, O.P. invites us to contemplate Christ in the tomb and the hope that sustains us in every season of darkness and waiting. There is no suffering, silence, or depth of human experience that Christ has not entered and redeemed. This meditation draws us into the heart of the Paschal Mystery, where apparent absence becomes a place of trust in God’s promise and presence. Wherever you find yourself today, in waiting, struggle, or quiet, remain close to Christ and keep watch in hope.

The Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph live a life of prayer, study, and preaching. Through this series, they share their reflections to guide your Lenten journey and enrich your spiritual life.

This Catholic reflection for the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas explores the saint’s famous prayer, “Nothing but You, O Lord,” and invites us to ask God to purify and reorder our desires. Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., reflects on one of the most striking moments in the life of St. Thomas Aquinas: when the Lord offers him a reward, and Thomas responds with a single desire—nothing but the Lord himself. Through the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas, Dominican friar and Doctor of the Church, we are invited to examine our own hearts and ask that our desires may be purified, reordered, and directed toward God alone. St. Thomas teaches us that the deepest desire of the human heart is not success, knowledge, or recognition, but God himself. Please know that we are praying for you as friars, and we ask you to pray for us on this feast day of our brother, St. Thomas Aquinas.

Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., invites you to save the date for the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, taking place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. Each year, pilgrims from across the country gather to pray the Rosary, celebrate the Eucharist, and entrust their intentions to Our Lady—asking to be led more deeply to Christ through her intercession.

Fruits of Contemplation

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary—once known as the Feast of Our Lady of Victory. In this reflection, Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., shares how the Rosary has shaped his own life and why this prayer is a powerful weapon in both great historical moments and our daily spiritual battles. Whether in the victory at Lepanto in 1571 or in the hidden struggles of the heart, Our Lady intercedes for us and leads us to Christ. Even when prayer feels dry or distracted, fidelity in the Rosary is itself a victory of grace. Watch now and join us in asking: Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.

Why is St. Mary Magdalene a patroness of the Dominican Order? Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P., explores the centuries-old connection between St. Mary Magdalene and the Dominicans, from the tradition surrounding her relics in southern France to her place in Dominican spirituality. Known as the “Apostle to the Apostles,” Mary Magdalene was the first to proclaim the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Her conversion, love for Christ, life of prayer, and mission to preach have resonated deeply with Dominicans for centuries. Fr. Dominic explains how Mary Magdalene’s life reflects something essential about the Dominican vocation: receiving the grace of the Gospel, being converted by it, and then being sent to proclaim it to others. “We don’t go out preaching as if we are already the saints that the world needs to adore. No, we go out preaching as those who ourselves have received the Gospel message and have been converted by it.” Learn more about the Dominican Friars: https://dominicanfriars.org Support the mission: https://dominicanfriars.org/support/ Watch more from the friars: https://media.dominicanfriars.org Follow us: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dominicanfriars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dominicanfriars X: https://x.com/dominicanfriars Why Is St. Mary Magdalene a Patroness of the Dominican Order? | Fr.

Is it possible to love too much? Not when it comes to our heavenly mother. Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., principal preacher at the inaugural Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, characterizes Marian devotion “as overflow, not overkill." He explains that Mary sets herself up "as an icon, not an idol, allowing our gaze to pass through her, to her Son. And she doesn’t upend the place of Christ, rather she extends it to us, with the care of a mother.” Learn more at https://www.rosarypilgrimage.org Fr.

The Rosary has a way of ensnaring us. But what we come to discover is that in being ensnared, we are saved. Fr. Gregory Pine teaches us that the Rosary asks of us a kind of contemplative stance—because we're actually "heaven-dwellers" here on earth—we're all called to be contemplatives. And we can do this by contemplating the saving mysteries of Christ. The mysteries we pray in the Rosary accompany us in this life, ultimately saving us! At his annunciation, Christ is saving. At his visitation, Christ is saving. At his nativity, Christ is saving. At his presentation, Christ is saving. All the way down the line, Christ is saving. And we contemplate these mysteries in union with Mary, the one who enjoys the most intimate union with her Son. She helps us to see joy, to see light, to see sorrow, and to see glory. Fr.

Traditional Thomists are normally unfriendly to Henri de Lubac, but today’s guest, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy points out that Thomists are very indebted to De Lubac and should join him on the battlefield. Fr. Cajetan Cuddy is a Dominican priest, scholar, and Youtuber who recently presented at the De Lubac conference hosted by the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and the Family. He joins us today to talk about De Lubac and his critical insight into the rise of constructive atheism. Fr. Cuddy and Ben Eriksen talk about De Lubac’s response to this new threat to the human person. They also discuss the tendency of academics and intellectuals to focus too exclusively on the academic end of writing and researching while ignoring the search for truth and God who is much more than an intellectual principle. Their conversation not only provides insights into our modern culture but also demonstrates the crucial overlap between intellectual inquiry and one’s lived experience.

Father Thomas Joseph White is a Dominican priest, theologian, and rector of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome. One of the leading Catholic theologians of his generation, his work focuses on metaphysics, Christology, ecclesiology, Thomism, and the relationship between faith and reason. He is the author of numerous books, including The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism. In this conversation, he explores the theological meaning of the Vatican, the papacy, and the Catholic Church's claim to teach with authority in matters of faith and morals. He discusses the role of the Pope, the nature of Catholic doctrine, the relationship between conscience and truth, and how Catholics understand the development and transmission of Christian teaching through history. Father White also reflects on his own conversion to Catholicism, the intellectual foundations of religious belief, and why he believes Christianity continues to attract young people in an increasingly secular age. The discussion addresses skepticism, scientific materialism, the clergy abuse crisis, the relationship between reason and revelation, and the enduring appeal of Catholicism as a comprehensive vision of reality. Father White's book: https://www.amazon.com/Light-Christ-Introduction-Catholicism/dp/0813229715 Guest bio: Father Thomas Joseph White, OP, studied at Brown University before entering the Dominican Order in 2003 and was ordained a priest in 2008. He is the author of The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism.

Can You Still Trust the Catholic Church?

Father Thomas Joseph White is a Dominican priest, theologian, and rector of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) in Rome. One of the leading Catholic theologians of his generation, his work focuses on metaphysics, Christology, ecclesiology, Thomism, and the relationship between faith and reason. He is the author of numerous books, including The Light of Christ: An Introduction to Catholicism.

In this conversation, he explores the theological meaning of the Vatican, the papacy, and the Catholic Church's claim to teach with authority in matters of faith and morals. He discusses the role of the Pope, the nature of Catholic doctrine, the relationship between conscience and truth, and how Catholics understand the development and transmission of Christian teaching through history.

Father White also reflects on his own conversion to Catholicism, the intellectual foundations of religious belief, and why he believes Christianity continues to attract young people in an increasingly secular age. The discussion addresses skepticism, scientific materialism, the clergy abuse crisis, the relationship between reason and revelation, and the enduring appeal of Catholicism as a comprehensive vision of reality.

How can Catholics understand the moral life within the framework of Saint Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologiae? Dr. Michael Dauphinais is joined by Fr. Romanus Cessario, a Dominican priest and the Adam Cardinal Maida Professor of Catholic Theology at Ave Maria University, to explore the moral theology presented in the second part of the Summa. They discuss how Aquinas situates moral theology between God’s creation and Christ’s redemption, emphasizing the pursuit of beatitude, the role of natural law as an imprint of divine providence, and the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.

How can Catholics engage with the mystery of God through reason and faith? Dr. Michael Dauphinais sits down with Fr. James Brent, O.P., assistant professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies. They explore how philosophy in the perennial tradition raises profound questions about God’s existence, His plan, the problem of evil, the human soul, life after death, and the pursuit of ultimate happiness, questions that are finally only answered by faith in God's revelation in Jesus Christ. They also discuss Fr. Brent's recent book The Father’s House: Discovering Our Home in the Trinity. Resources: Fr.

The Church celebrates the Feast of the Guardian Angels, honoring the spiritual protectors assigned to each person. This belief is rooted in Scripture—particularly Matthew 18—where Jesus says, “Do not despise one of these little ones, for their angels in heaven always look upon the face of the Father.” Devotion to guardian angels began in the early monastic tradition with St. Benedict and later with St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The feast was officially added to the Roman calendar in 1615 by Pope Paul V. Catholics are encouraged to foster a relationship with their guardian angel through prayer. Father Patrick Mary Briscoe, host of the Godsplaining podcast, joins to answer common questions about guardian angels and offers advice for people to get to know their guardian angel better. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.

On August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, our brothers made their First Profession of Vows at St. Gertrude Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. By professing obedience, poverty, and chastity, they enter more deeply into the life of St. Dominic and the mission of the Order of Preachers. As Fr. Raymond La Grange, O.P., reminds us: “By professing obedience to St. Dominic, we place ourselves under his direction. We fulfill our part of the obedience by continuing, centuries later, to carry out the mission which he inaugurated.” Following their profession, these newly professed friars begin their academic studies at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception (PFIC) at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. Their time in study—“the wood of the desk is the wood of the cross”—is a sacrifice that prepares them for a lifetime of preaching rooted in the Dominican intellectual tradition.

God’s ways are mysterious and wonderful. As an infant, Br. Charles Rooney, O.P., was baptized at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in New York. This past summer, he returned there as a Dominican Friar and deacon, now baptizing others. Brother Charles has left all things behind to live out his baptismal promises as a Dominican. We thank God for calling Br. Charles to religious life and are thankful to Br. Charles, and his fellow friars, for answering that call. #vocations #priesthood It All Begins At Baptism

The treasure we’re looking for in this life is God. We may try to find all sorts of counterfeit gods—money, power, pleasure—but all of these will fall short of what we desire. As he blessed Manhattan’s first ever perpetual adoration chapel, Cardinal Timothy Dolan tells us that what we’re ultimately seeking is that pearl of great price. And that pearl can be found in the Eucharist, every day of the week, every hour of the day, at the Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel at our Dominican parish of St. Joseph’s in Greenwich Village. #perpetualadoration The Pearl of Great Price

Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Philippians 4:13 and Saint Paul's declaration: “I can do all things in him who strengthens me.” We often understand this verse as a promise that Jesus will strengthen us to accomplish the things we desire. But Saint Paul reveals something deeper. Whether living in abundance or in need, in success or in failure, his strength comes from having Christ at the center of his life. Jesus is not simply an instrument for obtaining the things we want. He is our Savior, our beginning, our middle, and our end. Everything else finds its proper place in relation to Him.

We become united to what we contemplate. What occupies our minds does not leave us unaffected, but gradually shapes who we are.

Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Ezekiel 18 and the question of whether God’s ways are fair. Sin and vice are not merely violations of arbitrary rules. They contradict the proper order of reality and ultimately work against the goodness and happiness for which the human person was created. When we sin, we do not injure God as though our actions could diminish Him. We injure ourselves by acting against the order that leads to our own perfection and fulfillment. Christ entered into the suffering caused by sin so that, through His grace, we might be restored to the proper order of reality and find our ultimate happiness in God.

Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Philippians 1 and Saint Paul’s declaration that “Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.” The body is not incidental to the Christian faith. To be human is to be a unity of body and rational soul, and the salvation Christ accomplishes includes the whole human person. This is why Christians profess belief in the resurrection of the body. Even in death, when body and soul are separated, our bodies remain ours as we await their resurrection and reunion with the soul. Jesus does not save only a part of us.

Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Matthew 16 and Christ’s words: “Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Jesus presents us with a paradox: we find our lives precisely by giving them up. But the Christian does not lose his life only to be left with nothing. We let go of our attempts at self-justification, self-validation, and self-salvation in order to receive our true identity in Christ. Jesus holds nothing back from us. His life is ours, and everything He accomplished through His Incarnation, death, and Resurrection is for our salvation.

Jesus presents us with a paradox: we find our lives precisely by giving them up. But the Christian does not lose his life only to be left with nothing. We let go of our attempts at self-justification, self-validation, and self-salvation in order to receive our true identity in Christ.

Jesus holds nothing back from us. His life is ours, and everything He accomplished through His Incarnation, death, and Resurrection is for our salvation.

Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Matthew 16 and Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Peter does not discover Christ’s identity through his own reasoning, preferences, or convictions. Jesus tells him that “flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.” The same principle applies to the Church. We do not understand bishops, the hierarchy, or the sacramental order merely through our personal opinions about the people who occupy those offices. Christ instituted the Church. Christ established her hierarchy. Christ instituted the sacraments through which He gives us grace and salvation. To understand the Church, we must begin with Jesus.

What does it mean to share in the life of Jesus? In this episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on the extraordinary life of Christ and the gift he came into the world to share with us. Beginning with the Resurrection, Fr. James considers the difference between resuscitation and resurrection, and why the risen life of Jesus is something entirely new: an immortal, undying human life completely permeated by the divine life of the Son of God. Through Baptism, we are plunged into Christ’s death and resurrection and begin to share in his life. But this life is only beginning to grow within us. Fr. James explores what it means to die daily to sin and selfishness while allowing the resurrection life of Christ to take deeper root in our souls. The life of Jesus is not simply something we contemplate from a distance. It is a life he desires to share with us.

In this bonus episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on Mary, Seat of Wisdom, and the interior life of grace in the soul. The Christian life is not only belief in the mystery of the Holy Trinity, but participation in it: being formed by the Son, led by the Holy Spirit, and drawn to the Father in prayer. At the center of this hidden life is the gift of wisdom, by which we come to know and experience God dwelling within us. Within this mystery, the Blessed Virgin Mary has a maternal role in the order of grace, interceding so that Christ may be formed in us and that we may become contemplative souls. Fr. Brent reflects on Mary’s memory, her pondering heart, and her contemplative gaze upon the life of Christ, showing how the Rosary draws us into her prayer. In praying the Rosary, we are united to her contemplation and, as St. John Paul II teaches, mystically drawn to her side. The episode also considers the spiritual power of the Rosary, its capacity to order the soul toward God, and the grace given through faithful prayer of its mysteries, even in their fullness each day.

In Episode 52 of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., takes a closer look at something we often take for granted: what actually happens in baptism. We say that baptism gives us life, but not just the kind of life we already have. In baptism, something new begins. We receive a share in God’s own life, the life of the Most Holy Trinity, dwelling within us. Fr. James walks through this mystery in a simple way, helping us see how this gift goes beyond every form of life we know. It is not symbolic or abstract. It is real, and it changes us. With this life comes grace: faith, hope, and love, along with the virtues that help us live it out day by day. And it is not meant to stay small. It is meant to grow. Baptism is the beginning of a new life. This episode is an invitation to remember what we have been given and to let it take root.

In this bonus episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on the mystery of the Holy Trinity and the meaning of our lives in light of it. We were created to know God, not from a distance, but from within. Through grace, we are invited to become contemplative souls, drawn into the life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is our calling, our inheritance, and the deepest purpose of being human: to participate in the life of the Trinity through prayer, adoration, and love.

Bonus Episode: The Mystery of the Holy Trinity | Contemplata | Fr. James Brent, O.P.

In this bonus episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on the mystery of the Holy Trinity and the meaning of our lives in light of it.

We were created to know God, not from a distance, but from within. Through grace, we are invited to become contemplative souls, drawn into the life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is our calling, our inheritance, and the deepest purpose of being human: to participate in the life of the Trinity through prayer, adoration, and love.

In this third episode of Into the Mysteries of the Rosary, a Contemplata mini-series, we turn to the Second Joyful Mystery—the Visitation. Mary has said her fiat, but how does she know her vision of the angel was real, and not just a dream? The angel left her a clue: her elderly cousin Elizabeth, also pregnant. When Mary arrives at Elizabeth's home, something extraordinary happens. Elizabeth, "filled with the Holy Spirit," greets Mary with words she has no natural way of knowing—confirming everything the angel promised. We explore the gift of prophecy at work in this encounter, and how Mary's response, the Magnificat, unveils God's plan of mercy breaking into history. Pray with us through the Visitation, and discover what these two expectant mothers can teach us about faith, confirmation, and trust in God's hidden work.

Mary was the first person in human history to hear that Jesus is the Son of God — and the first to glimpse the inner life of the Holy Trinity. How did she believe so quickly? What was already happening in her soul before the angel Gabriel arrived? In this episode of Into the Mysteries of the Rosary, a mini-series of the Contemplata podcast, Fr. James Brent, O.P. meditates on the First Joyful Mystery: the Annunciation. He unpacks why Gabriel greets Mary as "full of grace" before revealing her mission, what her response teaches us about discerning God's call in our own lives, and how the Annunciation opens the door to God's plan to adopt us as His children. A guided meditation for anyone praying the Rosary — whether for the first time or the ten-thousandth. New episodes of Into the Mysteries of the Rosary every other week. Hosted by Fr.

What if the Rosary isn't just a string of beads, but a string of mysteries that hold the entire Gospel? In this opening episode of Into the Mysteries of the Rosary, Fr. James Brent, O.P. invites you into the great secret St. Paul speaks of in his letters: the mystery "hidden for ages and generations" but now revealed in Jesus Christ. From the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary, to the crowning of the Queen of Heaven, the mysteries of the Rosary trace the entire storyline of the Gospel and unveil God's plan to adopt us as His own children. Discover why the Rosary is called "the short form of the Gospel," how each Hail Mary places Jesus at the center, and why slowly meditating on these mysteries, day in and day out, gradually pulls back the veil on what life is really all about. Whether you've prayed the Rosary your whole life or are picking it up for the first time, this episode is your invitation to enter more deeply into the mysteries of Christ.

Why Every Part of the Mass Matters | Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress & Fr. Gregory Pine The Catholic Mass is far more than just a weekly obligation—it is the Church's highest act of worship and our deepest encounter with Jesus Christ. Yet many Catholics know the responses and rituals without fully understanding why the liturgy unfolds the way it does. In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Joseph-Anthony and Fr. Gregory offer a guided tour through the Mass, explaining how each part prepares us for communion with Christ. Beginning with the Introductory Rites, they show how the liturgy gradually moves us from ordinary life into sacred worship through prayer, Scripture, and finally sacrifice. Along the way, they unpack the meaning of our postures, the purpose of the Liturgy of the Word, the significance of the Offertory, and the beauty of the Eucharistic Prayer. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, Roman Catholic liturgical tradition, and their own pastoral experience, they explain how every prayer and gesture helps believers enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ's sacrifice. As Fr. Joseph-Anthony points out during the episode "lex orandi, lex credendi; the law of prayer, is the law of belief." Whether you've attended Mass your entire life or are just beginning to explore the Catholic faith, this conversation will help you see the liturgy with fresh eyes and participate with greater devotion.

Can Beauty Really Lead You to God? | Fr. Patrick Briscoe & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman Why does beauty stop us in our tracks? Why do breathtaking cathedrals, sacred music, masterpieces, and even a sunset seem to point beyond themselves? In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Bonaventure explore the profound relationship between beauty and God. Drawing from Dostoevsky, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and their own experiences of art and prayer, they ask whether beauty offers a unique witness to the truth of Christianity. You need not be an artist or a philosopher to enjoy this conversation! Tune in to hear the friars unpack why beauty continues to captivate us and why it may be one of the clearest signs pointing toward the Divine.

Can Beauty Really Lead You to God?

Can Beauty Really Lead You to God? | Fr. Patrick Briscoe & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman

Why does beauty stop us in our tracks? Why do breathtaking cathedrals, sacred music, masterpieces, and even a sunset seem to point beyond themselves?

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Bonaventure explore the profound relationship between beauty and God. Drawing from Dostoevsky, Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and their own experiences of art and prayer, they ask whether beauty offers a unique witness to the truth of Christianity.

You need not be an artist or a philosopher to enjoy this conversation! Tune in to hear the friars unpack why beauty continues to captivate us and why it may be one of the clearest signs pointing toward the Divine.

Unpacking Headship and Subordination in Marriage | Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress What does the Bible really say about headship and submission in marriage? Few passages generate more debate than Ephesians 5. Does St. Paul teach male domination—or something entirely different? In the latest episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Joseph-Anthony unpack one of Scripture's most misunderstood texts, exploring what the Church teaches regarding headship, mutual submission, sacrifice, and love. Rather than a struggle for power, they argue that Christian marriage is rooted in Christ's self-giving love for the Church. Headship is not about control, but about sacrificial service. Likewise, mutual submission is not about inequality, but about each spouse giving themselves fully for the good of the other. Whether you've wrestled with this passage for years or are hearing it for the first time, this conversation offers a thoughtful Catholic perspective grounded in Scripture and the Church's tradition.

Can a Good Person Tell a Lie? | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman Most people instinctively say that lying is wrong—until they're presented with an extreme case. What if a murderer came to your door? What if hiding the truth could protect an innocent person? In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Bonaventure explore traditional Christian teaching on lying, drawing from St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and even Immanuel Kant. They discuss why truthfulness is so central to the moral life, whether every lie is sinful, and how Catholics should think about difficult situations where telling the truth seems costly. The conversation goes beyond rules and exceptions to ask a deeper question: Do you want to be the kind of person who tells the truth?

Atonement Explained: Where Catholics and Protestants Differ | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman "Jesus died for our sins." As Christians we know this to be true, but do we understand what this really means? There are many explanations that focus on punishment, debt, or substitution. But how does the Catholic Church understand Christ's sacrifice on the Cross? Join Fr. Gregory and Fr. Bonaventure on this episode of Godsplaining as they explore the Catholic understanding of atonement, the mystery of salvation, and why Catholics speak of participation in the divine life. Along the way, they'll also discuss the famous Protestant theory of penal substitution, St. Thomas Aquinas' approach to redemption, and how Christ's suffering reveals the deepest truth about God's love.

How Should Catholics Approach Pride Month? | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Patrick Briscoe As the month of June approaches, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Patrick reflect on how Catholics can respond to "pride month" with both truth and charity. In this episode of Godsplaining, they discuss the Church’s teaching on human sexuality, the difference between political movements and pastoral care, the importance of identity in Christ, and why authentic Christian witness must always begin with love and prayer.

Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God? | Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Patrick Briscoe In this episode, Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Patrick Briscoe tackle a question that often sparks confusion and controversy: Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? They begin by grounding the discussion in both contemporary debates and historical Church teaching, showing that this is not a new question but one the Church has addressed for centuries. Drawing from sources like St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Robert Bellarmine, and the Second Vatican Council, they explain that the Catholic tradition consistently affirms that Muslims and Christians do, in fact, worship the one true God. The friars clarify that while Christians and Muslims refer to the same God in reality (the one Creator), they do not share the same understanding of God. Watch the full episode to learn more.

What Did Søren Kierkegaard Get Right? | Fr. Bonaventure Chapman and Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress This episode of Godsplaining dives into the thought of Søren Kierkegaard—one of the most influential Christian philosophers of the modern era and often called the “father of existentialism.” Fr. Bonaventure and Fr. Joseph-Anthony explore how Kierkegaard pushed back against overly rational approaches to Christianity, especially those influenced by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (checkout our episode on Hegel, if you haven't already). While Hegel emphasized reason as the key to understanding reality and faith, Kierkegaard insisted that faith cannot be reduced to logic alone. The episode unpacks Kierkegaard’s famous framework of the three stages of life: The Aesthetic Stage: a life driven by pleasure, beauty, and experience The Ethical Stage: a life grounded in moral duty and universal truths The Religious Stage: a life of radical faith, where one responds personally to God Through works like Either/Or and Fear and Trembling, Kierkegaard shows that true faith goes beyond rules and reason. Using the story of Abraham, he introduces the idea of a “teleological suspension of the ethical”—that God’s call can transcend human logic, requiring trust even when we don’t fully understand.

Hope vs Optimism: Is Religion Just Wishful Thinking? | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman Optimism says, “Things will work out.” Hope says, “God is at work—even when they don’t.” This week, Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr.

Aquinas 101

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini: more and more people are turning to these AI chatbots for quick answers or using them as tools in their day-to-day work. These large language models, also known as LLMs, are built on vast artificial neural networks. These are mathematical structures– composed of layers of simplified neurons– with connections of varying strengths or weights. They often provide answers in a human-like tone, not by modeling how we speak, but by statistically modeling what we say. But how do they work? And what do these statistical patterns have to say about human interiority? In this Aquinas 101 episode, Prof. Jordan Wales, Ph.D., explains how LLMs function and the methods used to train them while calling to mind the definition of intelligence and the wonder of the human person. ⭐ Join Fr.

ROSARY

Dominican Rosary Videos

In Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.’s first conference, the Wonder of the Rosary, from the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, he reflects on the Rosary as more than a prayer we say. It is a relationship. Through the mysteries of the Rosary, Fr. Cameron shows how this prayer meets us in the realities of our lives: our joys and sorrows, our anxieties, our wounds, and the things we cannot solve on our own. The Rosary gives us something to hold on to, but it also reminds us that we are being held. As Fr. Cameron explains, the Rosary is a “lifeline” that unites us to God and draws us deeper into the heart of Christ. The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 25, 2027. 🙏 Learn more and sign up: https://rosarypilgrimage.org 📅 Save the date for the pilgrimage: September 26, 2026 🎥 Subscribe for monthly novenas and pilgrimage updates.

Pray the Holy Rosary with the Dominican friars at the Fourth Annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, held on September 26, 2026, in Washington, DC. Gather with thousands of pilgrims in prayer as we meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary and turn to Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, for her intercession.

Month six of the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage nine-month novena is here. Fr. Walter Wagner, O.P., pastor of Saint Thomas Aquinas University Parish and homilist for the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, offers this month's reflection. This past Easter, his parish welcomed 92 people into the Church through baptism, reception into full communion, and confirmation. But behind that joy, Fr. Walter sits with a harder question: Will they stay? His answer turns to Mary. At the finding of the child Jesus in the temple, she did not simply move on from what she could not understand. She kept all these things in her heart, returning to the mystery again and again. Fr. Walter calls her the first Christian practitioner of contemplation, and invites us into that same practice through the Rosary. As we move through the ups and downs of human experience, the Rosary draws us back, again and again, to the unceasing and unfailing mastery of God. Join us in praying the fifth month of the novena, and in preparing for the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on September 26, 2026, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.

We invite you to hear Fr. Timothy Danaher, O.P., chaplain of Aquinas House at Dartmouth College, as he reflects on the Holy Rosary and leads us in prayer through the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena. Join us in uniting your intentions with ours as we prepare for the Pilgrimage. Fr. Timothy describes the Rosary as something both deeply human and deeply divine—rooted in nature and in the history of the Church. From children intuitively recognizing prayer, to monastic life shaped by rhythm and labor, to the Dominican tradition of praying with beads in common life, the Rosary emerges as a prayer woven into the lived experience of the Church across the centuries. He offers a striking analogy to a four-day golf tournament in April, where each day builds on the last, much like the four sets of mysteries of the Rosary. Together, they form a complete spiritual journey centered on Christ, with Mary at our side.

Enter more deeply into Lent by praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary with the Dominican Friars. In this February Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena reflection, Fr. John Paul Kern invites us to contemplate Christ’s Passion through the Most Holy Rosary — uniting ourselves to his Agony in the Garden, his Scourging, his Crowning with Thorns, his carrying of the Cross, and his saving Death on Calvary. During this sacred season, the Church draws our attention to the mystery of salvation revealed in the Cross. By meditating on these mysteries with Our Lady, we are conformed more closely to Jesus Christ and strengthened by grace to carry our own crosses in hope of the Resurrection.

From the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Dominican friars chant the Salve Regina, a centuries-old Marian antiphon sung each evening in the life of the Order of Preachers. Through this prayer, Dominicans entrust the Church, the Order, and all intentions to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this sacred chant, the friars lift their voices in praise and supplication, asking Mary, our gracious advocate, to lead all more surely to her Son. The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 26, 2026. 🙏 Learn more and sign up: https://rosarypilgrimage.org 📅 Save the date for the pilgrimage: September 26, 2026 🎥 Subscribe for monthly novenas and pilgrimage updates.

From the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Dominican friars chant the Salve Regina, a centuries-old Marian antiphon sung each evening in the life of the Order of Preachers.

Through this prayer, Dominicans entrust the Church, the Order, and all intentions to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this sacred chant, the friars lift their voices in praise and supplication, asking Mary, our gracious advocate, to lead all more surely to her Son.

The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 26, 2026.
