When we consider God’s omnipotence and mercy, we should despair of no one in this life (ST 2-2.14.3ad1).

Save the date for our next lecture!

An important way to reflect on Genesis 2:7

"then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."

Our souls made by God are intrinsically linked to our bodies made by God.

[St. Thomas Aquinas @Aquinas_Quotes]

The human soul begins to exist when the body does (ScG 2.83).

[Thomistic Institute, Edinburgh @ThomisticInstEd]

Our first lecture of the term addresses how we can reconcile faith with science.
Looking forward to this strong debut to our lectures this year.

Hello all, I hope your summers have been restful enough so that you are ready and eager once again to study St. Thomas.

This upcoming semester we will be looking at a new text. See details attached.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next reading group on the 20th.

[Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, OP @FrAquinasOP]

"Jesus goes before us to show us the way, both up the mountain and into heaven. We follow him with all speed, yearning for the heavenly vision that will give us a share in his radiance, renew our spiritual nature, and transform us into his own likeness." -Anastasius of Sinai

[St. Thomas Aquinas @Aquinas_Quotes]

Simply I learned about Wisdom, and ungrudgingly do I share—
her riches I do not hide away;
For to men she is an unfailing treasure;
those who gain this treasure win the friendship of God,
to whom the gifts they have from discipline commend them (Wisdom 7:13-14).
