St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas comes. He bows to the Monstrance and says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Beware the self-satisfied soul. Such a soul who does not seek a deeper spirituality is a lukewarm soul. His self-satisfaction threatens his very salvation; for the Lord offers and he rejects, thinking he need no more self-knowledge–he has all the grace he needs. This is the same as self-righteousness. It is such sanctimony in hearts that rejects private revelation, presuming they need no new devotions, and certainly no ‘alleged' advice from Heaven.”

“Such as these think they have the answers and believe they are saved. But in the same breath, they overlook the obvious–the chance to become holy and to enter the Kingdom on the wings of love and humility. Yes, it is a very dangerous thing to be self-satisfied–to be spiritually smug. It is a sign to Heaven that you are only interested in salvation on your own terms.”

“Beware each one of this trap Satan lays for you.”
