Podcast Description

In today’s reading Theophilus of Antioch gives a personal testimony of his own conversion, explaining how the fulfilled prophecies of Scripture overcame his former skepticism and led him to believe in the resurrection and final judgment. We then hear Augustine recount the dramatic conversion of Victorinus, the celebrated Roman rhetorician, who, though advanced in years and honored by the world, publicly humbled himself before the Church and confessed Christ despite the scorn of his pagan friends. We close with Thomas Aquinas clarifying that the goodness of the will depends not on sincere intention alone, but on whether it wills what is truly good according to right reason and God’s law.
