Dive into the profound teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas as this video presents a curated exploration of his thought on nature, grace, and the theological virtues.

The journey then moves into the heart of Aquinas’s doctrine of grace, addressing vital questions about human nature, the role of divine assistance, and the process of justification. What can humans achieve without grace? What is the difference between sanctifying grace and actual grace? These timeless questions are answered with clarity and theological precision. Finally, the video explores Aquinas’s powerful teaching on the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity—their nature, objects, acts, and absolute necessity for salvation. These virtues lie at the core of Christian life, uniting the soul to God and guiding it toward eternal happiness.
