St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas was seated in the pew in front of me. This time he has on a little white beanie. He turns half-way around with his big arm over the back of the pew, but his eyes never moved from the direction of the tabernacle.

He says: “I come in praise of Jesus. Sister, everything is reaching fever pitch now and becoming critical. God needs to be in the heart of your nation. As it is, the people have replaced love of God first with love of self first. This is reflected in the laws, in the schools and in consumerism.”

“It is no wonder the Church is under attack here. Religious vocations are not respected. Heaven's call to personal holiness is, for the most part ignored. But here you have the answer–the key to world peace. Here is the passport to salvation and holiness. It is Holy Love.”

“No one can in Truth come into Our Mother's Heart which is Holy Love without a conviction of conscience. This is the key to change–in souls, in the nation and in the world. It takes humility to respond to an illumination of conscience.”

He finally turns and looks me in the eye. “Humility and Holy Love go hand in hand.”
