Br. Nicholas Hartman, O.P., on Pondering Oft Repeated Truths

"When we're accustomed to something, we often don't give it the reflection it deserves. For instance, the fact that one person can make another person know what he is thinking by making noises - through language - is an incredibly complex and beautiful reality, but our constant use of language every waking hour makes this fact easy to gloss over. Similarly, the historically deep saturation of Christianity into our culture - despite our culture becoming increasingly 'post-Christian' - can cause us to mistake the profoundest realities of our faith as commonplace. This is also true about what we hear in the first reading of today's Mass. That God has spoken to us through the Son is repeated so frequently that oftentimes we miss its depth."

In a recent commentary, Brother Nicholas Hartman, O.P., reflected on how it is easy to start thinking of our redemption and its related consequences as something commonplace and forget what a great gift this is.
