Monday Musings - St. Thomas Aquinas
On this memorial of the Angelic Doctor, let me re-share a short post I wrote 4 years ago: (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons) I read St. Thomas Aquinas by G.K. Chesterton. I highly recommend this book! Although I do not know if the following tale Chesterton shares about our Angelic Doctor is true, I just had to share it with you: "It was of him [St.Thomas Aquinas] that the tale was told, and would certainly have been told more widely among us if it had been told of a Puritan, that the Pope pointed to his gorgeous Papal Palace and said, "Peter can no longer say 'Silver and gold have I none;' " and the Spanish friar answered, "No, and neither can he now say, 'Rise and walk'." St. Thomas Aquinas pray for us.
