"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571

Feast of St. Thomas of Aquino


Today the Anglican Communion commemorates the life and ministry of St. Thomas Aquinas. Although the name of St. Thomas does not feature prominantly in the works of the early Anglican divines, even the most cursory reading of Hooker's "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity" reveals the debt our tradition owes to the thought of the great Dominican from Aquino. As someone who has been called a "closet Thomist," I take some comfort in that fact! Blessed Thomas, pray for us. The image above is Fra Angelico,The Virgin and Child with SS Dominic and Thomas Aquinas, painted between 1424 and 1430. Posted by Hello

Hi,

I just found your blog, and enjoy it very much. I very much like the images and reflections for the holy days in the archives, and on Thomas Aquinas. Keep up the good work,

Adam
