After a full day of working on the Summa, Thomas would go up close to the Tabernacle and lay his head down and say "Jesus, did I speak well of you today?" It's said that Jesus would answer: "Yes, Thomas you spoke well of me today". I just love the stories of the many and varied intimate ways in which the saints talked to Jesus. What a great cloud of witnessess we have. Happy belated feast day to all the Thomas' out there. Pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is SO sweet and simple and pure. Imagine St. Thomas saw his writing of the Summa as "speaking well of Jesus". Can anyone say humble?????

puellapaschalis Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 It strikes me as something I should do at the end of every day, regardless of whether or not I've been working on arguably the best work of Catholic theology of all time.

Mari Therese Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 We should all endeavor to be like St. Thomas, speaking well of Jesus everyday. We can also do so in our daily actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
