"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be."
In today’s Word of Hope, Fr. Gregory Heille explores the profound wisdom of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6). While the world often focuses on material wealth—treasures that moths and decay can destroy—Jesus calls us to store up treasures in heaven.
Standing before the portrait of St. Thomas Aquinas at the Aquinas Institute, Fr. Greg delves into the theological and cardinal virtues that shape a moral life and direct us toward God. From the classic teachings of the Summa Theologica to modern-day initiatives like "Restoration Matters" and the "Virtues Project," this reflection invites you to consider: What virtues do you treasure most?
Join us as we explore how living a virtuous life can lead to healing, restoration, and a deeper connection with God and our community.
