Image
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Anger and the like are attributed to God on account of a similitude of effect. Thus, because to punish is properly the act of an angry man, God's punishment is metaphorically spoken of as His anger.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
God has no need for our worship. It is we who need to show our gratitude for what we have received.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
By nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There is nothing in your mind which wasn't experienced before hand.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.
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
God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To the Everlasting Father, And the Son who made us free And the Spirit, God proceeding From them Each eternally, Be salvation, honour, blessing, Might and endless majesty.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Every cell in us worships God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It seems that God does not exist because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word God means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The Cross to me is certain salvation. The Cross is that which I ever adore. The Cross of the Lord is with me. The Cross is my refuge.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact Angels have no religion as we know it... Their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on Earth.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
I cannot go on.... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To disparage the dictate of reason is equivalent to contemning the command of God.
Thomas Aquinas
