St. Thomas Aquinas says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear child, I have come to help you understand how to make purer sacrifices. Take, for instance, the multitude of buttons down the front of my cassock–quite the challenge for one so portly as your Thomas.”

“When I undertook the fastening of those buttons, I surrendered all thought of cost to me and focused on Jesus. With each button I pictured myself kissing the Wounds of Jesus–wiping His Bloodied Face and consoling His Sorrowful Mother.”

“This is how to give everything to the Lord. Lose sight of yourself and focus on Him.”
