on the Feast of St. Albert the Great, patron this Province. Fr. Samuel reflects on St. Albert, known as "The Last Man to Know Everything," whose vast interests spanned theology, philosophy, and science. Discover the "virtue of studiosity" – a hunger for truth – that animated St. Albert, and how he understood that all truth, whether found through faith or reason, ultimately reveals the nature of God. This message encourages us to integrate our "science life," "work life," and "faith life," finding God in every area of our expertise and deepening our relationship with Him.
