The Spiritual Life, Episode 2: Doctrinal Foundations of the Spiritual Life (Part 2)

The Spiritual Life, Episode 2: Doctrinal Foundations of the Spiritual Life (Part 2) In this second Episode of The Spiritual Life, we continue discussing Father Edward Leen’s book The Holy Ghost and His Work in Souls (1935). As we move into the second chapter dealing with the Holy Ghost Himself, we will deal with the great mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, the greatest mystery of our holy Catholic Faith. As a Catholic, nothing should be more important to us than the fact that our God, the one true God, is One God in Three Divine Persons. This is the heart of our faith, the foundation of Christianity – the fundamental doctrine taught by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was central to Him – the supreme revelation about God. We must remember that God Himself has an interior life and that God’s interior life is ultimately the source, meaning, and the goal of our own interior, spiritual life. Although we can never totally comprehend this great mystery, it is important to have at least an appreciation of it since without an exalted view of God, we will not have an exalted view of union with God. Without an exalted notion of who and what God is, in His nature and in His Triune life, we will not highly value many other truths of our Faith: the Incarnation, Redemption, sanctifying grace, the Indwelling of the Holy Trinity in the souls of the just, nor Heaven itself – the Beatific Vision and Possession of the Most Holy Trinity for all eternity. Join Father Bernard Uttley, O.S.B. and our host Nicholas Wansbutter, as they discuss the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and its relation to the spiritual life of our soul in this world and in the next.
