Matins: What is It and What is the Liturgy of the Hours? With Bishop Schneider
Loading
/

Matins is one of the hours/offices of the Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office. Second to the Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours is the official prayer of the Church. That prays the psalms at set times of the day to sanctify time. In this way, we fulfill Christ’s command to ‘pray without ceasing.’ Specifically, Matins is the night/early morning office that comprises of many psalms and meditative readings of scripture. Traditionally this prayer is said in the night, but recently shifted. Bishop Athanasius Schneider provides insights into the meaning of Matins and how one can grow their prayer life through meditative prayer and scripture. You can learn more about Bishop Schneider on his website: gloriadei.io. And you can view his new book Matins with the Fathers.

Previous Episode

Listen to the previous episode to learn about Transhumanism is the belief that humans are in control of their own progress and evolution as a species. It advocates for the augmentation of the human body and bodily functions with technology. This line of thought can lead to a disincarnating of the human soul from the body with sci-fi like technology.

Today, a lot of the proposed technologies are not feesible. However, the underlying philosophy that informs the desire to pursuit these technologies questions what it means to be free, what it means to have a body, and what it means to be human. Grayson Quay, author of The Transhumanist Temptation
How Technology and Ideology Are Reshaping Humanity—And How to Resist
, joins Fr. George to discuss some of these philosophies. And how we are to think rightly and what the Church has to say about such technologies. You can follow Grayson Quay on X @hemingquay.
