Book excerpt: "Many are well aware of St. Thomas Aquinas' intellectual prowess - his genius in metaphysics and supernatural theology - that pierced the depths of truth. However, few know about the spiritual life of this illustrious Doctor of the Church. This work, written by Msgr. Martin Grabman, a foremost authority on his life, is unique in its revelation of the sanctity and holiness of St. Thomas' priestly soul. Neither a purely devotional nor a strictly scientific treatment of the interior life of St. Thomas, this book combines the two to help you appreciate the character of the Angelic Doctor. In St. Thomas' own words, you will come to understand how and why he learned more from the feet of the Crucified than from the innumerable books he read. You will further be convinced that sanctity precedes science, and that life precedes knowledge, even in the scientific personality of Aquinas. In this gem, you will find insights into Aquinas' heart, brilliantly aglow with Divine love, through his works and the Acts of his Canonization Process. Msgr. Grabmann highlights three areas in the interior life of Aquinas: wisdom, charity, and peace. The soul of St. Thomas was ordered after the soul of Jesus Christ and his writings on intimacy with God flowed from his own experience of this communion. All St. Thomas' actions during his life were oriented toward Jesus Christ; St. Thomas asked God that he might think like Christ, love like Christ, and be at peace like Christ. St. Thomas spent his life in contemplative prayer, study, writing, and preaching. It is said that he began his writings with prayer and was often moved to tears. Through testimonies about the Angelic Doctor, you will learn about his untold mysticism and discover: The secret to develop fervent charity and attain spiritual delight; His self-sacrifice, kindness, and charity; His exemplary purity and temperance, and how he ordered his whole life toward God; The three-fold wisdom in which St. Thomas found the meaning and happiness of life; The two-fold way that helps us find truth; Why St. Thomas was called the Cherubim of the Eucharistic mystery. Revered as one of the greatest thinkers of all time, St. Thomas also possessed the faith of a child. You will be astounded by true stories of humility and patience that St. Thomas showed in instructing beginners in the spiritual life, along with his mercy and compassion toward others"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What brings us real and lasting happiness? Although just about every marketing firm, self-help guru, and man on the street has an answer, very few, if any, understand true happiness. It doesn’t come from power, pleasure, popularity, or possessions. So what is happiness and how do we find it? In How to Be Happy, author Matt Fradd relies on the help of St. Thomas Aquinas to show what will—and what won’t—bring us happiness in this life. By making the thought of Aquinas utterly accessible for today, How to Be Happy is an invaluable guide to a good life.
Download or read book Worshipping a Hidden God written by Luis Martinez and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The ways of God are not our ways, and the spiritual life is almost the contrary of what we fancy it.” So declares author Luis Martinez, the Mexican bishop and mystic whose wise spirituality, rooted in St. John of the Cross and St. Therese of Lisieux, shows you here how to enter into an intense, sustained communion with God. Bishop Martinez doesn’t offer new rules of prayer or demand that you abandon the forms of meditation that suit you. He simply reminds you that our God is a hidden God. To find Him, says Martinez, we have to seek Him, but through His ways, not ours. If we do that, the gaze of faith will always find Him right where He hides: in the spiritual desolation that led us wrongly to believe He was far away. Martinez shows you how to live in the obscurity of faith, detached both from consolations and desolations, and why this is best for your soul. The Christian who learns to do this leaves behind the perturbations of the world that shake the faith of those who don’t In the obscurity of faith, the Divine Master will listen to you, speak to you, and instruct your soul, but without the noise of words. Says Martinez: “Once you know how to profit from faith and to live by faith, you will always find God. You will have solved your problem; you will have discovered the great secret of the interior life.” Let these pages teach you that secret!

Download or read book The Bread of Life Or Saint Thomas Aquinas on the Adorable Sacrament of the Altar written by Saint Thomas Aquinas and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a very beautiful treatise of St. Thomas Aquinas on the adorable Sacrament of the Altar. It is hard to know which to admire more, the fulness and precision of its arrangement, or the way in which he brings in the words of the Holy Ghost from the Sacred Scriptures. From this treatise, and nearly always in its very words, I have arranged these Meditations for the Servants of the Holy Ghost. In fact, all that was needed was to number or letter the divisions of the book so that they could be easily seen. The prayers and thanksgivings I have added. I have put the teaching of the Saint by itself, and the words of the Holy Ghost by themselves. In this I have only carried out what St. Thomas has himself done in the treatise. For the more part he has, after stating and explaining his points, put the texts by themselves, referring to the first point, the second point, the third point, and so on. Putting them all together, therefore, is only carrying out what this Angelic Saint has done. Aeterna Press

Download or read book A Shorter Summa written by Peter Kreeft and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shortened version of Kreeft's much larger Summa of the Summa, which in turn was a shortened version of the Summa Theologica. The reason for the double shortening is pretty obvious: the original runs some 4000 pages! (The Summa of the Summa was just over 500.) The Summa is certainly the greatest, most ambitious, most rational book of theology ever written. In it, there is also much philosophy, which is selected, excerpted, arranged, introduced, and explained in footnotes here by Kreeft, a popular Thomist teacher and writer. St. Thomas Aquinas is universally recognized as one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived. His writings combine the two fundamental ideals of philosophical writing: clarity and profundity. He is a master of metaphysics and technical terminology, yet so full of both theoretical and practical wisdom. He is the master of common sense. The Summa Theologica is timeless, but particularly important today because of his synthesis of faith and reason, revelation and philosophy, and the Biblical and the classical Greco-Roman heritages. This little book is designed for beginners, either for classroom use or individually. It contains the most famous and influential passages of St. Thomas' philosophy with copious aids to understanding them.
Download or read book Aquinas and the Theology of the Body written by Thomas Petri and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope John Paul's Theology of the Body catecheses has garnered tremendous popularity in theological and catechetical circles. Students of the Theology of the Body have generally interpreted it as innovative not only in its presentation of the Church's teaching on marriage and sexuality, but also as radically advancing that teaching. Aquinas and the Theology of the Body offers a somewhat different interpretation. Fr. Thomas Petri argues that the philosophy and theology of Thomas Aquinas substantially contributed to John Paul's intellectual formation, which he never abandoned. A correct interpretation of the Theology of the Body requires, therefore, a thorough understanding of Thomistic anthropology and theology, which has been mostly lacking in commentaries on the pope's important contributions on the subject of marriage and sexuality.
