About this sermon
He was one of the most famous philosophers and Italian theologians of his time, one of the most influential religious figures of the Middle Ages and while he may have died 750 years ago today, the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas still resonate in the 21st century. Father Serge-Thomas Bonino, O.P. President of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas says, "St. Thomas is, first and foremost, a man in search of God. As a child, we know that his first words were 'Quid est Deus?', meaning, 'What is God?' From a very early age, Saint Thomas of Aquinas was destined to be an influential thinker within the Catholic Church. He is a man who sought God with his life, the commitments of religious life, and who sought him intellectually." St Thomas connected Catholic theology and classical philosophy in one of the most influential documents in Christian history - "Summa Theologiae." 2023 marked the 700th anniversary of his canonization, today honors the 750th anniversary of his death and 2025 will celebrate the 800th anniversary of St. Thomas' birth. EWTN Vatican Bureau has more on the Church commemoration of his death. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
