More quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Human salvation demands the divine disclosure of truths surpassing reason.
Thomas Aquinas
There being an imminent danger for the faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects.
Thomas Aquinas
Mistakes are made on two counts: an argument is either based on error or incorrectly developed.
Thomas Aquinas
Thus Angels' Bread is made The Bread of man today: The Living Bread from Heaven With figures doth away: O wondrous gift indeed! The poor and lowly may Upon their Lord and Master feed.
Thomas Aquinas
We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to Him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help.
Thomas Aquinas
Secondly, man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals is ordered towards conception. From this it follows that every sexual intercourse that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man's animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
Beware the man of a single book.
Thomas Aquinas
God should not be called an individual substance, since the principle of individuation is matter.
Thomas Aquinas
Every truth without exception- and whoever may utter it- is from the Holy Spirit.
Thomas Aquinas
As mariners are guided into port by the shining of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by Mary.
Thomas Aquinas
Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need.
Thomas Aquinas
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
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
The custom of the Church has very great authority and ought to be jealously observed in all things.
Thomas Aquinas
Charity brings to life again those who are spiritually dead.
Thomas Aquinas
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
It [covetousness] is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.
Thomas Aquinas
How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know.
Thomas Aquinas
Love follows knowledge.
Thomas Aquinas
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
