The Ineffable Mystery of God: That Than Which Nothing Greater Can Be Thought
From the website, Word on Fire: Father Barron considers St. Anselm’s description of God as that than which nothing greater can be thought, and goes on to explain St. Thomas Aquinas’ arguments which support the claim that God truly exists. He also speaks from the Catholic tradition about the nature of God and the challenging question of evil and the existence of God.
To provide a vision of the ineffable majesty and mystery of God, Father Barron invites us to the heights of the Sinai desert and makes his way to mysterious Istanbul, walks the glittering streets of Paris, and then captivates the viewer with the glories of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.

Opening PrayerThe Holy Trinity
O God, your name is veiled in mystery, yet we dare to call you Father; your Son was begotten before all ages, yet is born among us in time; your Holy Spirit fills the whole creation, yet is poured forth now into our hearts. Because you have made us and loved us and called us by name, draw us more deeply into your divine life, that we may glorify you rightly, through your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen. Resource Components for Week 3
