Homily for the Memorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Priest and Doctor of the Church

Saint Thomas Aquinas wisdom and absolute devotion to truth are both necessary and encouraging in our attempts to better understand and live the Faith. To write and practice every day, facing daily struggles and sacrifices is what makes action effortless and, therein, repeatable. St. Thomas Aquinas is trying to convince us of this. If we can act rightly once, great. But to act rightly 1000 times is far more worthy of praise, for a lifetime of goodness is more to be desired than a single great moment. Saint Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!
