## Resource

In this episode of the Council of Catholic Men Bible and Catechism Study (2/18/2026), we journey through Hebrews 12 in the Douay-Rheims, reflecting on God’s fatherly discipline, the call to perseverance, and the contrast between Sinai and the heavenly Jerusalem. We connect the chapter’s themes—chastisement that yields the “peaceable fruit of justice,” pursuing peace and holiness, and the unshakable kingdom—to supporting passages across Scripture (Romans, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Haggai) and highlight the gravity of rejecting grace with the example of Esau. We also review the single footnote on verse 17 and explore how divine discipline forms true sons in the spiritual life. We then continue in the Large Catechism of St. Peter Canisius on the Creed, focusing on the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—one God in three persons, with Scripture references from Matthew 28, Hebrews 1, 1 John 4–5, and John’s Gospel on the Paraclete’s abiding governance of the Church. We recommend key readings from St. Augustine and touch on the filioque. We close with a reading from St. Alphonsus de Liguori on St. Leo of Patara, a martyr who witnesses boldly to Christ, embracing suffering for the eternal crown. May these readings strengthen our patience in trials and deepen our love for the Triune God.
