Three conditions are necessary for Penance: contrition, which is sorrow for sin, together with a purpose of amendment confession of sins without any omission and satisfaction by means of good works.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
We ought to cherish the body. Our body's substance is not from an evil principle, as the Manicheans imagine, but from God. And therefore, we ought to cherish the body by the friendship of love, by which we love God.
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
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There must be must be a first mover existing above all – and this we call God.
Thomas Aquinas

In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh.

We should love others truly, for their own sakes rather than our own.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
Peace is the work of justice indirectly, in so far as justice removes the obstacles to peace but it is the work of charity (love) directly, since charity, according to its very notion, causes peace.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
It is only God who creates. Man merely rearranges.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There can be no joy in living without joy in work.
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
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
If a man deliberately abstains from wine to such an extent that he does serious harm to his nature, he will not be free from blame.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To pretend angels do not exist because they are invisible is to believe we never sleep because we don't see ourselves sleeping.
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
Any error about creation also leads to an error about God.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
For just as the first general precepts of the law of nature are self-evident to one in possession of natural reason, and have no need of promulgation, so also that of believing in God is primary and self-evident to one who has faith: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.
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
