Saint Thomas Aquinas(The Angelic Doctor)

Saint Thomas Aquinas stands as one of the greatest theologians and philosophers in the history of the Church. Born into a noble family in Roccasecca, Italy, he joined the Dominican Order against his family’s wishes and devoted his life to the search for truth. His quiet humility, deep prayer life, and extraordinary intellect earned him the titles Doctor Angelicus (Angelic Doctor) and Doctor Communis (Universal Doctor of the Church).

Aquinas sought to show that faith and reason are not opposed but harmoniously united. Drawing deeply from Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Church Fathers, and the philosophy of Aristotle, he developed a systematic and clear approach to theology that continues to shape Christian thought to this day.

Saint Thomas Aquina’s writings continue to influence theology, philosophy, canon law, and moral teaching. His clarity of thought, fidelity to the Church, and humble pursuit of truth make him a model for students, scholars, and all who seek to love God with both mind and heart. Canonized in 1323 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1567, his enduring legacy affirms that true wisdom leads not to pride, but to holiness.

“All that I have written seems like straw compared with what has now been revealed to me.”
— Saint Thomas Aquinas

Gospel of the Day (Luke 2, 22-35)

When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord," and to offer the sacrifice of "a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons," in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, he took him into his arms and blessed God, saying: Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel." The child's father and mother were amazed at what was said about him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."

On the day of my ordination, This one altar server, came out boldly in my presence and told the Bishop who ordained me, that One day The Bishop will also ordain him as a Catholic Priest.

This was something that really inspired me, I was so happy to hear this. I smiled and promised him my prayers.

I tell you; since I was ordained, all my nieces and nephews want to become religious. They have all given themselves Church titles, mum would sometimes call me telling me that they had gathered and one was acting to be a priest as they played. They would do this at intervals.

Anytime I call home and ask them what they want to be when they grow up, the youngest regardless of the gender says...I want to be Fr Mikael...it's only until the elder ones insert their own names to the titles do they change their s too.

I continue to pray for them all.

Let's always remember to pray for our kids, that the Lord who calls us all may take care of them as they grow into being responsible adults and Christians. We should also take up our responsibilities well in caring for them and praying that their heart's dreams be fulfilled.

I began as a very little child, and I believe if nurtured they will grow into being the best versions of themselves.
