Today’s Readings Podcast Description

How do we hold the faith when new teachings press in from every side? Vincent of Lérins gives us a clear and enduring rule: what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all. In these opening chapters of the Commonitory, he shows why Scripture must be read with the Church, why novelty is dangerous, and how the ancient faith once rescued the Church from the storm of Arianism. Alongside him, Augustine lifts our eyes to the eternity of God that stands outside of time, and Aquinas teaches us how shamefacedness and honesty guard the beauty of a temperate life.
