PATRISTIC PILLARS - Fr Joseph Hamilton - Origen of Alexandria on the Gospel of St Luke

Fr Joseph Hamilton turns his attention for the first time on Patristic Pillars, to that towering figure in patristic literature, namely, Origen of Alexandria with a Christmas themed homily in time for our Lord's Nativity. Fr Joseph Hamilton is the Rector of the Domus Australia in Rome, and a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney Australia. Prior to his appointment at Domus, he served as private secretary to George Cardinal Pell, until the Cardinal’s untimely death. Fr Joseph completed his doctoral studies in Patristics at Christ Church, University of Oxford, and his license at the Patristic Institute “Augustinianum” in Rome. Prior to entering seminary he worked as an investment banker. Having left the economy of Mammon for that of Salvation, he studied at the Pontifical North American College. A native of Ireland, he is a keen but mediocre (his words) surfer, and enjoys reading and cooking.
