Welcome to another enlightening episode of Catholic Conversations on Catholic Spirit Radio, hosted by Paul Garcia. In this episode, Paul engages with Father Thomas Loya, a Byzantine priest and host of The Light of the East Radio, to delve into the profound topic of Christmas viewed as the divine condescension of God. Father Loya shares insights from the Byzantine tradition, exploring the theological concept of Christ's kenosis—his self-emptying and descent from heaven to earth. Through thought-provoking discussions, he illustrates how the infinite God became tangible, exchanging divine glory for humanity's redemption. Discover why Christmas is not merely a seasonal event but an ongoing reality, reflecting God's boundless love and humility. This episode challenges us to perceive the incarnation as a continuous act of divine love, urging listeners to embrace a deeper appreciation for every aspect of creation as touched by God's presence. Join us as we contemplate the mystery of God's love that descends through the ages, from the manger to the cross, transforming our understanding of Christmas.
A change of pace loyal listeners. Today, after being away for a long time, Father Thomas Loya is back with us via cleanfeed. His topic for discussion today revolves around the rights of the Catholic Church with expressions of faith. This brings to mind many things including the family, marriage and divorce, not just with people, but the church itself. He also shares thoughts on how the Devil is involved with the Pandemic, not in terms of causing it, but in terms of when it comes to those who choose to be vaccinated or not and the vaccines themselves. His words of inspiration are felt here: "Make your faith work for you."
