Dr. Scott Goins, classics professor from McNeese St. University, finds Newman’s theory of education as a model for today’s educators. Newman’s pedagogical elevation of communal learning finds a home in today’s technological teaching. The sermon “Invisible Presence of Christ” insists that by allowing God’s presence we permit ourselves to be what we are meant to be. The unlikely survival and spread of Christianity throughout the ages is evidence of the existence of that Spirit. This same Spirit enters each of us through our shared search for happiness. Excessive individuality is an attempt to replace this thirsting space of for true happiness with strange and simple natural desires which can only be found in God. We best find Him (or rather He finds us) in the tradition and teachings of His Church. It is in our heart, formed in God and for God that we find true happiness.
