Well, welcome everybody to the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy.

I'm Father Chris.

We're here live coming to you for explaining the faith in our Saturday series.

And we're very grateful you could be with us.

I've been in Europe for almost three weeks.

I just got back from a week long meetings in Poland for our

Marion Association of Marion Helpers. And so it's great to be back. And today we have an interesting

topic. And that is going to be the proof that God exists. And I'm going back to Thomas Aquinas, especially.

But I think you'll find it very fascinating.

Now, this one of all the 160-some talks I've done

is probably the most difficult.

If you can get through this and even halfway understand it,

you could get through seminary.

So we're going to pray that we could do our best.

So let us begin with the prayer in the name of the Father,

and to the Son, into the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Heavenly Father, we ask you send the Holy Spirit down upon us

to open our minds and hearts, receive your grace and especially to know

that you do exist and that we give our heart to you we ask all this through Christ our Lord

amen in the name of the Father into the Son into the Holy Spirit amen so you saw on your screen there, I'm drawing mainly from

Thomas Aquinas. I'm drawing from my seminary notes. Chris Sparks had supplied some research.
