Great article, and I love the Hillbilly Thomists. Phillip hipped me up to them a few years ago.

I like a B-side on the ole Holy Ghost Power called “Old Highway.” Feels like home to me.

I haven't heard that one yet, I'll have to give it a listen!

Great choice! I almost picked that one myself. Fr. Thomas Joseph White has a great bluegrass voice.

What is the source of the art in this post? It is an interesting comparison against Rembrandt's Storm on the Sea of Galilee. Thank you.

Thank you for asking! The cover image is "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee," by Jan Brueghel the Elder in 1596. The image within the post is "Cristo apacigua la tempestad en el lago Tiberiades" by Juan de Flandes from 1500. God bless!

Thank you so much for this and The Hillbilly Thomists. Excellent sources for contemplative prayer.

Thank you! The Hillbilly Thomists are great, I highly recommend all of their work (including in the Thomistic Institute). As a Southern Catholic it's especially nice to hear some Catholic bluegrass!
