For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible;
nothing is secret except to come to light.
Saint Thomas Aquinas...
one of the most influential thinkers and
prolific writers of medieval Scholasticism.
His most well known writing is his
Summa Theologica.
He has been called the 'Universal Teacher'.
A few quotes from St. Thomas Aquinas...
There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than friendship.
Wonder is the desire for Knowledge.
Love takes up where Knowledge leaves off.
The things that we love tell us what we are.
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use,
from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
Saint Thomas was such a bright light
that it would have been impossible to keep it hidden.
He began with wonder at a young age.
He quickly moved into his period of knowledge
during his extensive schooling.
His writings validate his own wonder and knowledge
culminating in great love.
It is true for us as well.
Begin with wonder...embrace the pursuit of knowledge...
arrive in the realm of greater love.
We have much to learn from Saint Thomas Aquinas.
We are Blessed today with the wisdom of Thomas.
Read more of his quotes;
pick one that speaks to you...
write it in your journal for future reference.
Let the saints inspire and encourage you along your journey.
~~~Peace~~~
