The Emotional Life and St. Thomas Aquinas

Discover the surprisingly refreshing and deeply transformative insights of St. Thomas Aquinas on the emotional life. Far from being outdated or repressive, his teachings challenge many modern misconceptions—including those found within Catholic circles—about the role of emotions and the sensitive appetite. This presentation explores how Scripture is often misinterpreted in ways that hinder emotional well-being and contradict both Aquinas and the Church’s authentic teachings. By reclaiming a Thomistic understanding of our passions, we open the door to genuine freedom and the possibility of reaching new spiritual and emotional heights.

Affirmation: More Than Words - A Way of Living

Do you merely cope with your emotions, or can you use them for your benefit? This presentation introduces foundational principles for emotional and spiritual wholeness. Discover what it means to live an affirming life—recognizing the inherent goodness in yourself and affirming the worth of others, often without even speaking. Rooted in the teachings of Conrad Baars on psychic wholeness, this session offers a pathway toward deeper inner peace and authentic human connection.

Vocation - Not Only a Supernatural, but Also a Natural Calling: A Call to Life

God invites us to live life to the fullest—but what does that truly mean? To live fully is to embrace the journey of becoming more deeply human. This presentation explores vocation not only as a divine calling but also as a natural invitation to grow in every dimension of our humanity. It’s a call to form the whole person: to educate the mind, strengthen the will, and cultivate the emotions—the foundational pillars of human formation.
