Advent Series 2022, Pt. 2: The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” While we tend to focus on the coming of the Son of God as a child at Christmas, Advent is traditionally a penitential season that is supposed to make us ready to meet the Lord at His second coming. This Advent series by Dr. David Hajduk, Array of Hope’s Director of Theology, reflects on the Final Advent of the Lord - the Last Judgment. This second part explores questions like “What will the appearance of the Lord be like at the end of time?” and “How do contemporary and popular depictions of Christ actually contradict the teachings of Sacred Scripture and the Fathers of the Church?”--Host: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:https://arrayofhope.org/Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:https://watch.arrayofhope.net/Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.Follow Array of Hope Ministries on:Facebook: @arrayofhopeministriesInstagram: @arrayofhopeministriesTwitter: @aohministriesTikTok: @arrayofhopeministriesLinkedIn: @arrayofhopeministriesYouTube: @ArrayofHopeMinistriesListen to Array of Hope's music on your streaming platform of choice:https://lnk.to/arrayofhopeFollow Array of Hope Music on:Instagram: @aohmusic_#faith #hope #love #Christianity #Catholicism #inspire #inspiration #holiness #life #grace #Good News #theology

This past year we witnessed the passing of Alice von Hildebrand, Catholic philosopher and author, and wife of one of the foremost theologians and philosophers of the 20th century, Dietrich von Hildebrand. In this podcast episode we share portions of an interview with Alice conducted by Mario Costabile several years ago, as a tribute to this amazing and influential Catholic woman. Alice discusses her concerns about the state of education, the breakdown of the family and the contemporary attacks on the family, and the crucial role that women play in the plan of God. She also shares her view that the key to building a culture of life, as well as strong marriages, is personal holiness.--About Alice von HildebrandAlice von Hildebrand was a Belgian-born American Catholic philosopher, theologian, author, and professor. She taught philosophy at Hunter College for 37 years and became an internationally beloved figure through her many books and articles and numerous radio and television appearances. She is the widow of the famous Catholic philosopher, Dietrich von Hildebrand, whose work she developed and made her own, making important contributions especially to the Catholic understanding of marriage and of femininity. Despite misogyny and anti-Catholicism at every turn, Alice von Hildebrand was a professor of philosophy for nearly 40 years in New York City. In a climate of relativism, she championed the objectivity of truth. Some students on the verge of despair found a reason for living; many, despite the fact that she never mentioned religion, converted to Catholicism. Alice von Hildebrand passed into eternal life on January 14, 2022, leaving behind wisdom found in her many books including The Privilege of Being a Woman, Man and Woman: A Divine Invention, and her autobiography Memoirs of a Happy Failure.--Host: Mario CostabileVisit our website:https://arrayofhope.org/Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:https://watch.arrayofhope.net/Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.Follow Array of Hope Ministries on:Facebook: @arrayofhopeministriesInstagram: @arrayofhopeministriesTwitter: @aohministriesTikTok: @arrayofhopeministriesLinkedIn: @arrayofhopeministriesYouTube: @ArrayofHopeMinistriesListen to Array of Hope's music on your streaming platform of choice:https://lnk.to/arrayofhope#faith #hope #love #Christianity #Catholicism #inspire #inspiration #holiness #life #grace #Good News #theology
