St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas comes. He says: “Praise be to Jesus. Today I have come to help you understand this very basic tenet. This is what determines the soul's destiny–indeed, his place for all eternity. What is held most dear and precious at the center of each heart is the god that he worships. This is the reason each soul must search his own heart daily and from moment to moment to determine the object or objects of his greatest affection.”

“Pray for the grace of Truth to come into your heart today. Some people for all intents and purposes seem holy, but this is only on the outside. In their hearts they jealously guard their reputation. Others worship money and all it can buy–clothes, houses and even power.”

“But God searches out the humble, the simple, the unpretentious. He does not look for great intellects either. The intellect can be a great obstacle, I tell you, unless it is humbly submitted to the Will of God. It is only then God reveals His Truth to the heart. Everything in the heart has to be purified in the Flame of Holy Love, stripped of self-interest and surrendered to God to use as He chooses. Everything has a purpose and a place in God's All-Knowing Plan, from the weather to the exposure of evil in hearts, to the greatest sacrifice–The Crucifixion.”

“Most often the fullness of God's Will is not revealed to mere man. This is where each one is called to trust. Trust is the testing ground of love.”
