0:00.0 | Hello, my name is Father Gregory Pine and I'm a Dominican friar of the province of St Joseph. |
0:06.0 | I teach the Dominican House of Studies and what else do I do? I work as an assistant director for the |
0:10.8 | Tomistic Institute and this is Pines of the |
0:13.0 | Quinas. In this episode, I want to talk about what it means to be sober. I |
0:17.3 | realize that when many of you hear that, you think of people who struggle with |

1:20.2 | Charity in the Christian understanding |
1:22.0 | is big and bold and beautiful, but in our contemporary understanding we associate charity with giving things to people who have less means or just to poor people simply so-called. But I don't think many of us like to be |
1:35.5 | on the receiving end of charity because it represents a kind of ugly need like we |
1:40.4 | don't want to be made a charity case. Here we see the notion of the virtue |
