About this listen
The early Church knew that holiness is harmony—reason, affection, and worship tuned to the same note. Clement teaches that moderation and melody belong together: true music is the soul’s thanksgiving. Augustine’s gentle letter to Jerome captures the art of disagreeing without division, showing that the unity of love outlasts the clash of ideas. And Aquinas explains that anger, rightly understood, is not always sin—it becomes sin when reason no longer holds the reins. From table to temper, the Fathers call us to live in rhythm with divine order.
Readings:
Clement of Alexandria, The Instructor, Book 2, Chapter 4 – How to Conduct Ourselves at Feasts
Augustine, Letter 67 – To Jerome, My Brother in Christ
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 2–2, Question 46, Article 8 – Whether the Species of Anger Are Suitably Assigned
