Concerning perfect blessedness which consists in a vision of God.
Thomas Aquinas

The fact that the evil ones, as long as they live, can be corrected from their errors does not prohibit that they may be justly executed, for the danger which threatens from their way of life is greater and more certain than the good which may be expected from their improvement.
Thomas Aquinas

Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas

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)

The Angel's bread is made the Bread of man today.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
God is not related to creatures as though belonging to a different genus, but as transcending every genus, and as the principle of all genera.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The soul, which is the first principle of life, is not a body, but the act of a body just as heat, which is the principle of calefaction, is not a body, but an act of a body.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
What does it take to become a saint? Will it.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Not everyone who is enlightened by an angel knows that he is enlightened by him.
Thomas Aquinas
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

A man does not always choose what his guardian angel intends.
