Hello, and welcome to Lent. Today is Ash Wednesday. And as I've been saying over the last few weeks,

Thomas Aquinas wrote daily meditations for Lent, which sounds like something,

let's say other Australian bloke's name, Matthew Kelly, I should know that.

Sounds like something he would write, you know, which would be a great idea. But here we go, man, it's not Matthew Kelly,

it's not Matt Fratt, it's actually Thomas Aquinas. And so what I've done is I've recorded each of these

meditations individually in a place Gregorian chant behind each meditation.

So today I want to share with you the very first meditation, just going to give you an idea of it.

If you've been thinking about supporting points with Aquinas, then go over to pineswithacquinas.com,

click support. If you give $10 or more a month, you'll be able to listen to each of these

meditations every single day for Lent. I mean, how cool would it be? And by the way, I know I'm

totally biased here. Like I am trying to get your money. That's my son Peter. See his sick.

That's where I need your money. Say hi. Hi. See, I mean, how he's known to that. Like I am biased

here, right? Like I am trying to make more money for my family and for the work. Okay, set again.

Hi. But I really do think it's a great idea. And so go to go to pineswithacquinas.com, click support,

support for $10 or more a month. Oh, you can tell me love a minute, a second. And then you can

listen to Thomas every day. That'll be super cool. Imagine if you could walk with him every day.

And every day he would chat with you for five minutes. That's what it would be like. So here's the

first episode. And I hope you enjoy it. By the way, I guess here's another option. If you kind of

forward 10 bucks a month, you could like pledge 10 bucks a month and then cancel by the end of this

month. I don't want you to do that, obviously, because I want you support, but that is an option. Hey,

say goodbye to them. Bye. Say I love you. Say have a happy Lent. Hi, let's leave that.

All right, here's the first meditation from Thomas Aquinas.
