The things that we love tell us what we are.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Without doubt one is allowed to resist against the unjust aggressor to one's life, one's goods or one's physical integrity sometimes, even 'til the aggressor's death... In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below, Our foes press on from every side, Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There must be must be a first mover existing above all – and this we call God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Mercy without justice is the mother of dissolution justice without mercy is cruelty.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this, and you dissolve the unity of the Church.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Just as a man cannot live in the flesh unless he is born in the flesh, even so a man cannot have the spiritual life of grace unless he is born again spiritually. This regeneration is effected by Baptism: Unless a man is born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn 3:5)
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It [covetousness] is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The Blessed Eucharist is the perfect Sacrament of the Lord's Passion, since It contains Christ Himself and his Passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It would seem that zeal is not an effect of love. For zeal is a beginning of contention.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Do not wish to jump immediately from the streams to the sea, because one has to go through easier things to the more difficult.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Natural inclinations are present in things from God, who moves all things. So it is impossible for the natural inclinations of a species to be toward evil in itself. But there is in all perfect animals a natural inclination toward carnal union. Therefore it is impossible for carnal union to be evil in itself.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Love follows knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Now it seems that everything in the world stems from sources other than God, since the products of nature have their source in nature deliberate effects can be traced back to human reason or will as their source. There is no need then to assume that God exists.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
As the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
