Thomas Aquinas
We can open our hearts to God, but only with Divine help.
Thomas Aquinas
Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail.
Thomas Aquinas
The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.
Thomas Aquinas
Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail.
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
Christ was either liar, lunatic, or Lord!
Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas
Reason in man is rather like God in the world.
Thomas Aquinas
The highest perfection of human life consists in the mind of man being detached from care, for the sake of God.

I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught.
Thomas Aquinas
