| St Thomas Aquinas |
For even if it is better to enlighten than merely to shine, so
it is better to give to others the fruit of one’s contemplation than merely to contemplate.
(St Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 188, art. 6)
Taking the Angelic Doctor’s words to mind and heart, how might we give to others what we contemplate this day, that is, the Lord’s Day? May the WORD enlighten you! 😊
Whoever will not listen to my words which the prophet speaks in my name,
I myself will make him answer for it.
(Dt 18:19)
If today you hear God’s voice; harden not your hearts.
(Psalm 95)
Be free of anxieties.
(1 Cor 7:32)
The people were astonished at HIS teaching.
What is this?
A new teaching with authority.
(Mark 1:22, 27)
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the land.
(Communion Antiphon, Mt 5:3-4)
BUONA DOMENICA!
