The Narrow Way to the Heavenly Altar: Catechesis with the Fathers + Substack Announcement | Ep. 36
Episode 36
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
In this episode, we announce the new Eternal Christendom Substack, and provide a free example of the content we are offering to premium Subscribers ($8/month). It's called "Catechesis with the Fathers," in which we will read a work of the Church Fathers, and unlock its treasury of wisdom from four perspectives: theology, philosophy, apologetics, and the spiritual life.
In this "Catechesis with the Fathers," we will read two amazing sermons--Sermons 149 and 227--by a lesser known, but amazing western Church Father, St. Caesarius of Arles (c. 468/470-542). We paired these two sermons together since Sermon 149 discusses the narrow cruciform path to salvation, and Sermon 227 explains how the Catholic altar on earth is intrinsically connected with the heavenly altar, and how to approach it worthily so as to receive the Eucharist unto eternal life, instead of eternal damnation.
Thank you to Catholic University of America Press for giving us permission to read from their translation of the Church Fathers.
