What advice does Thomas Aquinas have for the modern person, especially the modern parent? Have you ever felt that something might be missing in modern parenting trends, like gentle parenting? In today's episode, Father Gregory Pine introduces us to an ancient practice that has shaped children for centuries: virtue ethics. First explored by classical philosophers like Aristotle and later popularized in the Middle Ages by St. Thomas Aquinas, virtue ethics remains central to the Church's teachings on character formation. Father Pine, drawing from his deep knowledge of St. Thomas Aquinas, offers practical guidance for parents seeking to cultivate virtues like justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude in their children. Raising children to be happy and holy adults can feel daunting, but this episode is essential for empowering parents to nurture future saints.

I hope this conversation inspires and equips you to approach parenting with a renewed perspective and practical tools.Check Out Fr Gregory's work:Aquinas 101: https://aquinas101.com/Godsplaining Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Godsplaining Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!
