Saint Therese Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think St. Thomas is a perfect anti-dote for today's culture of emotionalism and shortsighted thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veridicus Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) This is a pic I took a couple of years ago of a painting in a side chapel within Notre Dame in Paris. Figured it was fitting to post today: [IMG]http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Veridicus21/IMG_0898.jpg[/IMG] Edited January 28, 2010 by Veridicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
