Image
The servants of God...whether provoked by word or work, by keeping themselves tranquil and peaceful, evince a perfect nobleness of soul.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The human race was in need of salvation because of the perversity of sin. For when people who are ill are cured from their illness, they are called saved. Therefore, the Lord says: Your faith has saved you.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Devotion is a certain act of the will by which man gives himself promptly to divine service.
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
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
It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To restore man, who had been laid low by sin, to the heights of divine glory, the Word of the eternal Father, though containing all things within His immensity, willed to become small. This He did not by putting aside His greatness but by taking to Himself our littleness.
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
A person is disposed to an act of choice by an angel ... in two ways. Sometimes, a man's understanding is enlightened by an angel to know what is good, but it is not instructed as to the reason why ... But sometimes he is instructed by angelic illumination, both that this act is good and as to the reason why it is good.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Happiness is secured through virtue it is a good attained by man's own will.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Not everything that is more difficult is more meritorious.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Without sanctifying grace it is not possible to refrain long from mortal sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
By the divine providence [animals] are intended for man's use... Hence it is not wrong for man to make use of them, either by killing or in any other way whatsoever.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The happy man in this life needs friends.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Obedience unites us so closely to God that it in a way transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His. If obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
When the devil is called the god of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldliness.
