St. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the Church (7 March) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

March 7 in The Liturgical Year by Dom Prosper Guéranger honors one of the greatest minds in the history of the Church: St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor. In this reflection, Dom Guéranger presents the life and sanctity of the Dominican theologian whose writings illuminated the mysteries of the Faith with unmatched clarity. From his noble birth to his heroic defense of purity, from his studies under St. Albert the Great to his monumental works like the Summa Theologica, St. Thomas Aquinas stands as one of the Church’s greatest teachers. His intellect, humility, and devotion to prayer allowed him to become the Church’s most precise interpreter of divine truth. Christ Himself is said to have praised him with the words: "Well hast thou written of me, Thomas. What reward wouldst thou have?" To which the saint replied: “None other than Thyself, Lord.” Declared the patron of Catholic schools by Pope Leo XIII and called the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas continues to guide the Church in defending truth against error and deepening our understanding of God. During the Lenten season, the Church invites us to seek the wisdom that leads to conversion. Through the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas, may we grow in knowledge of God, hatred of sin, and love of eternal truth. 0:00 Introduction – The Angelic Doctor 0:17 The Church Honors St. Thomas Aquinas 1:05 The Greatest Intellect in the Church 1:26 Why This Feast Matters During Lent 2:13 Birth and Noble Family of Aquinas 2:54 Education at Monte Cassino 3:02 Joining the Dominican Order 3:17 Imprisonment by His Family 3:25 The Temptation Against Purity 3:41 The Angels Gird Him with Purity 4:13 Studies Under St. Albert the Great 4:29 His Life of Prayer and Study 5:01 Christ Speaks to St. Thomas 5:35 The Office of Corpus Christi 6:07 Final Journey and Death 6:23 Canonization and Relics 6:55 Patron of Catholic Schools 7:16 Dominican Hymns for St. Thomas 9:42 Praise of the Angelic Doctor 10:47 His Wisdom for the Church Today 11:26 Prayer for the Dominican Order 11:42 Preparing for Lent and Conversion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/march/march-7-st-thomas-of-aquinas-doctor-of-the-church/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
