I think a lot of people imagine life after the manner of a textbook and they're just trying to flip to the back, get to the answer key and save themselves some of the pain and suffering of navigating page by page.

But it's like navigating page by page is the precise way in which human beings are meant to come to their maturity.

Give us the sketch. Who is Thomas Aquinas? The greatest thing that you can give to your family is your heart. The greatest thing that you can give to your kids is siblings.

The greatest thing that you can give to your husband is time.

You're a gift and you're a gift to your family.

And don't underestimate that.

You're not just here to checkbox.

Father Gregory Pine, welcome to the podcast.

Thanks so much.

Thanks for coming out.

Hey, it's my joy. all the way from the East Coast and you're getting on that same plane or a similar plane to go right back today. I walk up at 340. I celebrated Mass at four. I drove myself to the airport and arrived at like 517. And here we are. And that was 340 East Coast time. Correct. So you've been up

since midnight. I suppose so. Did you sleep on the plane? I didn't. I got excited about the virtue of justice and I read and wrote on the plane.

Really?

That is so fun.

And when you say you read about the virtue of justice, you read Thomas Aquinas on Justice?

So that book is thick, or at least the volume of it that I have.

So I brought a work by Gene Porter, who teaches at Notre Dame.

And justice has a virtue.

So that's what I was reading.

Amazing.

And was he quoting Thomas Aquinas?

Or she? Yeah, exactly.
