This is part 1 of the recording of the invited inaugural Feast Day Of Saint Thomas lecture given at Mount Angel Abbey and Seminary. The full recording includes my lecture, Thomas Aquinas, Multiple Thomisms, and Christian Philosophy, a response by associate dean and professor Justin Shaun Coyle, and my answers to his and others' questions. Thomas Aquinas' works, thought, and approach have been viewed at times as an exemplar for Christian philosophy by many. His influence in Catholic circles in some times was massive and practically unavoidable, while in others Thomism was marginalized. In this talk, I focus on one period in which attentive engagement with Thomas Aquinas' thought, taking form as various and often rival Thomisms, was at a peak, an era centered by the 1930s Christian philosophy debates. I outline a narrative that starts with the Thomist revival in the late 19th century, discusses some key positions staked out during the modernist crisis and the 1930s debates, and takes us up to our own times. I bring the lecture to a close by providing a few suggestions for productively engaging, interpreting, and incorporating the insights and spirit of Saint Thomas.

A St. Thomas Show with Aero The Great Awakening: Ascension, the Truth of Yeshua, and the New Earth A St. Thomas Show: The Great Event Participating in the human experience to create a New Earth in peace. Feb 15, 2026 "The truth is, source God is within us. The war has been won, the children rescued, and the dark held accountable." — Arrow, Transition Specialist The Twin Revelation Yahshua (Jesus) has a twin sister. The "Doubting Thomas" narrative was a dark construct to hide this lineage. Arrow shares the same light column, returning now among thousands of others to anchor the ascension frequency. The Great Event (2017–2027) ✦Apocalypse: Not the end of the world but uncovering of truth. ✦Ascension: Moving beyond the "Prison Planet" and the construct of linear time. ✦Sovereignty: Guidance comes from the heart center, not external religions. Resources & Connections #CreationLightship #QTrain #NewEarth #ProjectReview Next Show: Project Review with Q & Aero (Sunday @ Noon Central) Call for 1M Humanitarian Projects Introduction In this inaugural episode of A St. Thomas Show, the speaker, Arrow, reveals her identity as the twin sister of Yeshua (Jesus) and delivers a message regarding the end of a 2,000-year cycle of darkness. She asserts that humanity is currently undergoing an "Ascension" to a "New Earth," characterized by the reclamation of internal divinity and the exposure of historical deceptions. Detailed Summary The Historical Deception and the True Nature of Yeshua Arrow claims that organized religions were engineered by "dark" extraterrestrial entities to enslave humanity through externalized worship, effectively "dimming down" the human vessel to limit its spiritual capacity. She clarifies that Yeshua and his followers were hung on poles rather than crosses as a warning to others. In the current era, the light once held by Yeshua has been fragmented into thousands of individual bodies to facilitate a global ascension, bypassing the dark forces' attempts to capture or destroy the light. The Linguistic Shift: Apocalypse English Definition "The end of the world" / Nuclear destruction. ➔ Greek Definition "To uncover, reveal, or disclose." The "Apocalypse" is not destruction, but the revealing of truth that sets humanity free from the world of darkness. Redefining the Apocalypse and the Great Event The narrative challenges the traditional English definition of "Apocalypse" as the end of the world, labeling it a fear-based narrative created by the "dark." Instead, Arrow adopts the Greek definition—to uncover or reveal—signifying the disclosure of horrific truths that have already occurred. She identifies the period between 2017 and 2027 as "The Great Event," a time of human spiritual victory where the war against darkness has already been won, children have been rescued, and tribunals have held the "enemy" accountable. The Mystery of the Twin and the Three Light Columns Arrow explains that the figure of "Saint Thomas" was a fabrication designed to hide the existence of Yeshua's twin sister. She identifies Yeshua as a vessel for three specific "light columns": Q (the teacher), Ron Amitron (the healer), and Princess Diana (the infiltrator of the royal family). While these spirits have manifested in various forms, their mission remains the restoration of order and the healing of the human spirit through "clearings" of density and darkness. The Three Light Columns of Yeshua Q: The "Man without a Name" and teacher of the Q-Trainers; focused on truth and transition. Ron Amitron: The healer; currently working from the "Creation Lightship" to clear human densities. Princess Diana: The infiltrator; tasked with dismantling evil structures within the royal lineage. Sovereignty, Time, and Personal Activation The document posits that humans are "gods and goddesses" whose abilities were suppressed by a "time construct" used by dark aliens to recycle souls. Arrow shares her personal journey of "remembering," including a childhood wish for peace and a synchronistic experience at a VA cemetery involving her Uncle Stu and the letter "Q," which confirmed her path as a "transition specialist." She emphasizes that guidance must come from the heart's center rather than the ego-driven head. Key Data The Great Event Timeline: 2017 – 2027. Numerical Significance: The number 117 and the date January 17th are highlighted as pivotal markers in Arrow's personal activation and family history. Source References:dictionary.cambridge.org (Critiqued for its definition of Apocalypse). creationlightship.com (Source for Ron Amitron's clearings). 4thepeople.space (Source for teachings on Emmanuel and density). To-Do / Next Steps Humanitarian Projects: Submit project proposals for the "Project Review" show; documents should be kept brief (three pages or less). Healing and Clearings: Visit creationlightship.com to access free clearings and newsletters to remove spiritual "densities." Tune In: Attend A St. Thomas Show every other Sunday at noon Central. Collaborate: Join the "twin show," Project Review with Q & Arrow, next Sunday at noon Central to showcase finished projects or seek collaborators. Conclusion Arrow concludes by affirming that the war of light versus dark is over and the "New Earth" is already present for those who wake up to it. Her mission is to call all "light particles" home and encourage individuals to live through their heart's passion, ultimately creating a reality of peace and equality.

The main obstacle preventing health systems from prioritizing AI over the next 3-5 years is not a lack of AI products in the market, but rather the challenges of integrating the technology into their existing workflows, and the uncertainty in measuring its return on investment (ROI).

“Unless I see…” Thomas speaks for us. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore how to believe without seeing in a world that demands proof. We contrast signs and certainties, why God preserves our freedom to trust, and how personal histories shape our “tests” for belief. Practical takeaways: name your criteria honestly, notice the subtle ways God already speaks, and choose trust that leads to action. We hold the three lenses: integrity with ourselves, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasFaith needs freedom: God gives reasons to believe but stops short of coercion; no proof or disproof removes our choice.Signs vs. the Sign: visible wonders can help, but relationship with Christ requires trust that goes beyond optics.Personal filters: temperament, wounds, and stakes change our verification bar—be honest about the tests you set.Learn His voice: like Joseph or Samuel, once you recognize how God speaks to you, cooperation becomes fruitful and steady.Reason serves faith: philosophy can point (Descartes, Hume, Gödel), but revelation invites a response only trust can make.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):Thomas and “Blessed are those who have not seen” (John 20:24–29).Healing the paralytic to manifest authority to forgive sins (cf.

December 21, 2025Today's Reading: John 20:24-29Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 42:1-25; Revelation 9:1-12“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Thomas refused to believe his brothers' testimony of the risen Christ. He wanted concrete proof, a living body he could feel, a real visual for the eyes. This makes sense. Jesus had prophesied His resurrection, and Thomas wanted evidence. Why would he give up everything for a lie? He's doubting, thus the moniker “doubting Thomas”; still, no disciple abandons everything for a cause he knows is untrue. Jesus' words “blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” are a gentle rebuke for Thomas and us who make demands on God when the Word is sufficient. Christ is merciful to give Thomas what He seeks and prompts that great confession, “My Lord and my God!” Thomas sees, believes, and goes on to exercise Jesus' charge to forgive and retain sins (John 20:22-23) in a firm faith only God can give.It's not hard to find people denying God while claiming a lack of proof. But how many stories are in the Bible recording miraculous events only for the people to continue in unbelief? The Israelites crossed the Red Sea in miraculous fashion, only to grumble about food. Jesus healed on the Sabbath before enemies seeking His death. Miracles, we find, don't always result in faith and a proper understanding of Jesus. The devil who masquerades as an angel of light would love to have us turn to something other than the Word, telling us we need proof and evidence before faith. But the Scriptures are clear to teach us the power of the Holy Word and its sufficiency, therefore to create faith that believes and thus one is blessed without the eyes, without reason's confirmation of God via the senses. The disciples' witness of the living Christ is foundational to the testimony today going forth, echoing what Thomas and the others saw—the risen Christ Whose scars mean forgiveness and life. The Church still echoes this testimony and responds to Jesus in the words “My Lord and my God!” The Holy Spirit, Who works still in His Word, is good to create such faith before our risen Savior, Who speaks, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty and ever-living God, You strengthened Your apostle Thomas with firm and certain faith in the resurrection of Your Son. Grant us such faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, that we may never be found wanting in Your sight; through the same Jesus Chris, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.Author: Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, senior pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Brenham, TX.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev.

Bishop Daniel talks like a Texas Protestant in terms of Church Planting and giving your heart to Christ, but actually he is a bishop in the Orthodox Church in India where his father was born. His native village close to where the Apostle Thomas landed almost two thousand years ago. But Bishop Daniel is not part of the old Malankar Syriac Church in India, but of the Believers Eastern Church founded by his father who was consecrated by an Anglican Bishop and studied with Southern Baptists before founding this new Orthodox Church. Continuing his father's work in evangelization, Bishop Daniel is the leader of GFA World, which works to bring the Gospel to those who have never heard it to five million people in sixteen counties from East Africa to Southeast Asia—and growing—across (what we might call) the Indian Ocean World. What I admire most about his method how the GFA uses missionaries from these countries so that it is not an outside imposition but a local initiative, compatriot to compatriot, neighbor to neighbor.
