KEEPING THE TRUTHS=OF OUR FAITH

 

KEEPING THE TRUTHS=OF OUR FAITH

WE should all

STRIVE to be better Christians=

We should strive

To KNOW our faith

We should

Live our faith

Saint Thomas Aquinas

Was a great CHRISTIAN=

A great Catholic=and we honor him today=

He was

A BLESSING from the Lord

“He shall

Receive a BLESSING

From the Lord” Psalm 24:5

Saint Thomas Aquinas-

Lived his faith=

He the GREATEST

Of all theologians

His writings

STILL have a major IMPACT

On theology today

Shortly BEFORE his death

In 1274=he had a mystical VISION

That silenced his great pen

But he had

LIVED his life=he had

DONE HIS WORK

He was a visionary=

And he KEPT

The truths=of the FAITH

That is ALL any

Of us can do

Is try to be

A BLESSING for someone else

“I will make them

And the places

Surrounding my hill

A BLESSING

I will send showers

In season=there will be

SHOWERS OF BLESSING” Ezekiel 34:26

“BLESSINGS crown

The head of the righteous

But violence overwhelms

The mouth of the wicked” Proverbs 10:6

And BLESSINGS shall follow

Each and

EVERY ONE of us

If we keep

THE TRUTHS=of our faith

IF we love our God=with

Our whole heart and soul=

If we love

ALL of our neighbors

As ourselves=

If we FORGIVE 70 X 7

If we live the BEATITUDES

We should=KEEP

The truths of our FAITH

At all times

If we do this=

There will be

A TOUCH of the divinity

In us

Like there was

In Saint Thomas Aquinas

“For since=the creation

Of the world=

God's invisible qualities--------

His eternal power-and DIVINE NATURE---------

Have been clearly seen-

Being understood

From what has been made

So that people=are without excuse” Romans 1:20

Saint Thomas had many

Great intellectual gifts

That he SHARED

Mostly though=he had

A TOUCH of the divine in him

May we all be

SO RICHLY BLESSED

By KEEPING the TRUTHS

Of our faith

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our EVER DIVINE HOLY FATHER
