Thomas Aquinas
Sin is a spiritual illness thus sinners are in need of salvation.
Thomas Aquinas
To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.
Thomas Aquinas
Well-ordered self-love is right and natural.
Thomas Aquinas
