St. Thomas Aquinas


CONFESSOR, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH

Feast: January 28

On one occasion, at Naples in 1273, after he had completed his treatise on the Eucharist, three of the brethren saw him lifted in ecstasy, and they heard a voice proceeding from the crucifix on the altar, saying

"Thou hast written well of me,
Thomas; what reward wilt thou have?".

Thomas replied,
"None other than Thyself, Lord"
