The Hillbilly Thomists

In August 2023, the Hillbilly Thomists retreated to a cabin in the Catskill Mountains to record their fourth and most recent studio album of original music,Β Marigold.Β Continuing to draw from the vivid cultural and spiritual landscape of the band’s unofficial patron, Flannery O’Connor, who coined the phrase β€œhillbilly Thomist,” the friars have put together an album that’s at once old and new, rooted in the rich soil of traditional American music and blossoming into a lyrical meditation on life’s enduring trials and beauty.

CD track listing:

Β Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Β Angel Band

What Woud You Give in Exchange for Your Soul

Poor Wayfaring Stranger

Β Amazing Grace

I’m a Dog

Steal Away

St. Anne’s Reel

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

What Wondrous Love Is This

To Canaan’s Land

Just a Closer Walk with Thee

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.

This Catholic reflection for the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas explores the saint’s famous prayer, β€œNothing 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 desireβ€”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.

Hidden under the humble sign of bread, Jesus moves through the world he made. Many will never cross the threshold of a churchβ€”but in a Eucharistic procession, God comes to them, carrying his presence into the streets he loves and the world he saves. This Eucharistic procession in New York City offers a rare witness to Christ, truly present in the Eucharist, going out to meet the world he made, the world he loves, and the world he saves. The procession is accompanied by the voices of the Schola Cantorum of the Dominican House of Studies, singing O Come, All Ye Faithful. Whether you are Catholic or simply curious about the faith, this video provides a moving glimpse into the beauty of a Catholic Eucharistic procession, showing how God’s presence can touch every corner of the city.

As the year comes to a close, Fr. John Paul Kern, O.P. offers a message of gratitude to all who support the Dominican Friars with their prayers and generosity. Over the past year, God has brought forth much fruit through the preaching and ministry of the friars. We celebrated the ordination of new priests, welcomed thousands of pilgrims to Washington, D.C., for the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, and saw continued growth in the Thomistic Institute, now present on campuses across the country. Alongside these moments, friars continue their daily service in parishes, classrooms, hospitals, and campus ministries. As we look ahead to 2025, the Dominican Friars entrust their work to God and ask for your continued prayers, that he may bring to completion the good work he has begun. Please know of our gratitude and our prayers for you and your loved ones.

Why Every Part of the Mass Matters | Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress & Fr. Gregory Pine The Catholic Mass is far more than just a weekly obligationβ€”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."

Why Every Part of the Mass Matters

Why Every Part of the Mass Matters | Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress & Fr. Gregory Pine

The Catholic Mass is far more than just a weekly obligationβ€”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.

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 dominationβ€”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 wrongβ€”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.

If you've been following the podcast for a while or attended a Godsplaining Retreat, you know he's also a favorite of Fr. Bonaventure. Tune in for a brief introduction of the life and thought of Kant, along with some surprising facts about his contributions, and his influence on a well-known Catholic Saint.

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 SΓΈren Kierkegaard Get Right? | Fr. Bonaventure Chapman and Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress This episode of Godsplaining dives into the thought of SΓΈren Kierkegaardβ€”one of the most influential Christian philosophers of the modern era and often called the β€œfather 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 β€œteleological suspension of the ethical”—that God’s call can transcend human logic, requiring trust even when we don’t fully understand.

Attuning the Human Mind (Aquinas 101)

In this video, Prof. Jordan Wales, Ph.D., dives into a fascinating theological and philosophical exploration of artificial intelligence. Drawing on the profound wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine of Hippo, we examine the critical differences between statistical mapping and true human intelligence (intelligentia).

James explores how true poverty of spirit brings together this humility with complete confidence in the Father, and how we are called to grow in both.

What does Jesus teach us about sorrow? In this episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on the Second Beatitude, Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted, and how it reveals the heart of Jesus. Jesus lived this Beatitude to the full. He did penance on behalf of sinners, embraced poverty, chastity, and obedience for the sake of the kingdom, and ultimately laid down everything on the Cross. Yet his sorrow did not end in death. In the Resurrection, Christ reveals the consolation promised to those who mourn. Join us in Contemplata Episode 64, The Sorrow of Jesus, as Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on Christ as the man of sorrows and the hope we find in his Resurrection. Contemplata is available wherever you get your podcasts.

The Sorrow of Jesus | Contemplata Ep 64 | Fr. James Brent, O.P.

What does Jesus teach us about sorrow?

In this episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on the Second Beatitude, Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted, and how it reveals the heart of Jesus.

Jesus lived this Beatitude to the full. He did penance on behalf of sinners, embraced poverty, chastity, and obedience for the sake of the kingdom, and ultimately laid down everything on the Cross. Yet his sorrow did not end in death. In the Resurrection, Christ reveals the consolation promised to those who mourn.

Join us in Contemplata Episode 64, The Sorrow of Jesus, as Fr. James Brent, O.P., reflects on Christ as the man of sorrows and the hope we find in his Resurrection.

James explores how true poverty of spirit brings together this humility with complete confidence in the Father, and how we are called to grow in both.

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 Episode 53 of Contemplata, A Word of Love, we reflect on the truth at the heart of the Gospel: God loves us with an everlasting love. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, this meditation invites listeners to receive the Word of God not merely as information, but as nourishment for the soul. As fear, anxiety, and distraction fill our daily lives, Fr. James Brent, O.P. calls us back to the Cross and to the living Word that reveals the mercy, tenderness, and love of God. Through passages from Scripture and the witness of Mary, who pondered the Word in her heart, this episode encourages us to meditate deeply on the love God pours into our souls through Christ and the Holy Spirit. A contemplative reflection on faith, Scripture, and the healing power of divine love.

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.

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 β€œlifeline” that unites us to God and draws us deeper into the heart of Christ. The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 25, 2027. πŸ™ Learn more and sign up: https://rosarypilgrimage.org πŸ“… Save the date for the pilgrimage: September 26, 2026 πŸŽ₯ Subscribe for monthly novenas and pilgrimage updates.

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 divineβ€”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 β€” 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.

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.

Join us in praying the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena and prepare your heart for the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on September 26, 2026 in Washington, DC.

This video begins the first month of the nine-month novena in preparation for the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, a Catholic pilgrimage centered on prayer, contemplation, and devotion to the Rosary. Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., offers a reflection on why a nine-month novena is a fitting way to prepare for the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage. Drawing on the Church’s tradition of sustained prayer before great works, he invites us into a contemplative rhythm of prayer as we prepare our hearts for the graces of the Pilgrimage. In this video, Fr. Joseph-Anthony also leads the novena prayer, inviting viewers to pray together on the Saturdays of each month as we journey toward the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage. The Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage will take place on September 26, 2026, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.
