Day 89: St. Thomas Aquinas

You will learn how suffering purified his vocation, how prayer guided his intellect, why his writing stopped after encountering God, and why his teaching continues to shape the Church.📖 ScriptureWisdom 7:7“I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.”💬 Thought to Remember“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary.
