The Thought of God, the Stay of the Soul - Fr. Michael Daly

Episode 21 Season 2 – “The Thought of God, the Stay of the Soul”

Fr. Michael Daly, priest of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota gathers from several sources to unpack one of Newman’s favorite sermons, “The Thought of God, the Stay of the Soul”. Newman points out that we are made from God and for God. In our bones we know that we are made for more. Therefore, our dignity and destiny are found in our infinite God. Fr. Daly shares that the quest for God is an “ache” for God. Sanctity lies in how we respond to that “ache”. Only with a pure heart can we find our tender and loving God enabling us to “lift up our hearts to God”. Fr. Daly explains that when we lift our hearts to God, we offer the only two things that we can give God – our sin and our will to seek His will and not our own.
