Hello there! If you’re reading this, it means you’ve stumbled across this website, and you’re probably wondering what Trivium Magazine is all about. With so many wonderful Catholic websites, blogs, and podcasts available today, what does Trivium Magazine have to offer? And more importantly, in a world where endless content is available at your fingertips, why should you subscribe to a print magazine?
Here at Trivium Magazine, we strive to “Reclaim Truth at the Crossroads of Modern Life.” With a reverence for those who have come before us, our goal is to grow in faith, hope, love, and ultimately in holiness even while we live in a world that does all it can to destroy these goals. While our struggles as Catholics in this day and age sometimes feel hopeless, we can find both comfort and peace in knowing that we have been planted in this moment, here at the crossroads between the past and the future.
Yearning for Heaven, we find that only by understanding our roots as God’s children are we able to flourish in the time we have been born into. At the crossroads of history and modernity, we must hold fast to the truth that we have been wondrously created in God’s image and likeness: body, mind and soul.
As we ponder our beginnings, it seemed only fitting to start Issue 1 of Trivium Magazine in a garden of sorts. We are launching in the height of Summer, at the beginning of July, when all the world is green and alive, and God’s Grandeur is on full display. And so, as we discussed potential themes for the first issue, it seemed only fitting that we choose nurturing for this inaugural issue.
As I wrote in the very first Letter from the Editor, “The act of nurturing can only begin when there is something to nurture. It presupposes the existence of soil, seeds, and garden. But nurturing is not limited to the care of vegetables and flowers.” It is not enough to simply recall the truth of who we are, where we have come from, and where we are going. We must plant strong gardens of virtue and holiness within our lives, nurturing them with hope and joy.
It is our sincerest hope that in some small way Trivium Magazine might help to nurture the garden of your community, your home, and most importantly, your soul. Since we’re all traveling along the winding path of life on a journey to Heaven, let’s meet at the crossroads and journey together.
