Image
It must be said that charity can, in no way, exist along with mortal sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Even as in the blessed in heaven there will be most perfect charity, so in the damned there will be the most perfect hate. Wherefore as the saints will rejoice in all goods, so will the damned grieve for all goods. Consequently the sight of the happiness of the saints will give them very great pain.
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
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
The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us.
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
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
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
God is never angry for His sake, only for ours.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
One will observe that all things are arranged according to their degrees of beauty and excellence, and that the nearer they are to God, the more beautiful and better they are.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead.
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
The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in His divinity, assumed our nature, so that He, made man, might make men gods.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Humility is the mark of a genuine disciple.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
All the efforts of the human mind cannot exhaust the essence of a single fly.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Give, expecting nothing there of.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
All my words are but chaff next to the faith of a simple man.
Thomas Aquinas
