This includes various important Thomistic concepts, such as the Christian understanding of what it means to be fully alive as a human being, the concept that all emotions are a gift from God which are given to us to help us more easily choose the good and avoid evil, and even further that they mature over time and by their nature are meant to be benevolently guided by the intellect toward right action through an act of the will.  Thomistic teaching further explores the reality that human beings have five external senses but also four internal senses, referred to by St. Thomas Aquinas as the common sense, the cogitative power, the imagination, and the memory. All of these internal and external senses are an integral part of the experience of being human.  All that these senses provide to us helps us to grow in freedom FOR morality, of course supported by the primacy of God’s Grace, which builds on nature, helping each of us to develop gradually in virtue and mature throughout our lives. Above all, the mission of this musical endeavor is to provide encouragement to families everywhere to ponder the beautiful vision that God has for each one of us, male or female, created in His image and likeness and to deepen our understanding of all that this vision entails through beautiful music.  Ultimately, this music provides a clear and creative means for helping you and your family explore these beautiful teachings of the Christian tradition in an age appropriate and fun way!
