VII. Brother Columba Thomas, Dominican Brother and medical doctor

Fr. Columba Thomas grew up in Lebanon, Ohio where his family attended St. Francis de Sales Parish.  He studied at the University of Dayton, where he majored in Music (Piano) and Premedical Studies.  He then went on to medical school at Yale, where he first met the Dominican friars at St. Mary’s Church and became a Third Order Dominican.  He completed a Primary Care Residency and Chief Residency at Yale and attained board certification in Internal Medicine before joining the Province of St. Joseph.  “The beautiful liturgies and powerful preaching of the Dominicans first drew me to the Order.  Then I realized more and more that the Dominicans are uniquely positioned to effectively proclaim the Gospel and give witness to the faith in a very secularized world.”[1]

The Order of Preachers.

IX Ignatian 14 Rules for Spiritual Discernment (note Ignatius uses these ideas expressed 200-300 years earlier) for a more in-depth discussion a link is provided for those discussions https://youtu.be/JFsnraU8tAY?si=9K7K853Gx8YJLtcb

Ignatius teaches us clearly the first step is an honest self-examination. If we are secular minded, then the temptations will be different from those of a devout soul. Teresa of Avila will define humility as truth, honesty.

Text resurfaces as society need it. Abortion and euthanasia tied together. We are in challenging times. A primary challenge, cure people in the past would have died, but life now requires ongoing care. Unbelievers, suffering has no merit, no understanding o fDivine Providence.
