The Josias Podcast Episode XXXV: Thomistic Mystagogy

Thomistic theology is rarely associated with liturgical prayer. So, in this episode, Urban Hannon turns the conversation toward St Thomas Aquinas’ mystagogy of the Mass—that is, his theological teaching on the meaning and purpose of its various rites.

The handout mentioned in the episode may be found here.
