Day 252: The Common Good (2024)
September 8th, 2024 | 18 mins 16 secs
basic needs, citizens, civil society, common good, defence, defense, fulfillment, globalization, human family, inalienable rights, interdependence, migrants, military, peace, political community, politics, refugees, right to privacy, security, social conditions, social nature, universal common good
The Catechism sets up a pair of definitions for us that, at first glance, appear circular, but upon close examination, reveal profound interdependence: “The good of each individual is necessarily related to the common good, which in turn can be defined only in reference to the human person.” Fr. Mike uses a fascinating thought experiment to illustrate where the common good originates: you. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1905-1912.

Day 48: Creation in Order (2024)
February 17th, 2024 | 18 mins 59 secs
corporeal, creation, creatures, dominion, earth, heaven, hierarchy, human beings, interdependence, stewardship, universe, visible
God created all of the visible world in richness, diversity, and order, and everything owes its existence to God. Because all of creation comes from God, every creature has its own goodness and perfection and God wills the interdependence of all creatures. Father Mike helps us to see that God gave us the world for our use, but not for our abuse. Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God and we are charged with caring for the natural world and all of its creatures. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 337-343.
