Aquinas: reason vs. revelation

Monday, January 28, 2019
    Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274
Meditation:
    When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
    —Luke 3:21-22 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The end of all my labors has come. All that I have written appears to me as much straw after the things that have been revealed to me.
    ... Thomas Aquinas (1225?-1274), Butler’s Lives of the Saints [1756], Alban Butler & Michael J. Walsh, Burns & Oates, 1956, reprint, HarperCollins, 1991, p. 29 (see the book)
