91�����

While passing through Southern California, Matt Fradd � Catholic author and host of the podcast � seized the opportunity to visit 91����� Aquinas College. �When I came on campus,� he joked, �I was hit with an overwhelming temptation to abandon my wife and children and register as a student here!�  

In addition to touring campus and lingering in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel, Mr. Fradd generously took time to address students in St. Cecilia Hall�s Fritz B. Burns Auditorium about the Christian duty to reject worldliness. �We should recover leisure time from the totalitarian �work� state of mind,� he said. �Leisure leads to wonder, and wonder to the recovery of innocence, which is that childlikeness without which no man will enter heaven.�

Although he dwelt at length on the world�s corrosive influences, Mr. Fradd ultimately exhorted students to �remember the great merciful love of God,� adding, �We have a God Who would rather die than risk spending eternity without you.� In all, he spoke and answered questions for over an hour, much to the delight of his audience.

�It�s absolutely glorious here,� Mr. Fradd said afterward while mingling with students. �I wish I had had this sort of education myself. When you create a beautiful environment, we�re more likely to act like humans at our best � and not like rats in a cage!�
