Father Broom talks to the Friday evening Perseverance Group about the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas. He was the greatest philosopher and theologian in the Church. He was a brilliant author and speaker. He grasped the most sublime truths about God, the Sacraments, and the human soul.
Yet he attributed his brilliant insights not to his fervent study but to the time he spent in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Near the end of his life, he had a vision of Christ. The Lord told him to ask for any gift and he would give it to Thomas. His request? Only this: “Lord, give me the grace to love you more and more each day.”
