Saint Thomas Aquinas shows us that faith and reason are not enemies, but allies in the pursuit of truth. Although he faced severe opposition for being a Dominican and for his interest in Greek philosophy, he offered his brilliant mind to the service of Christ and His Church. His life reminds us that true wisdom begins in prayer, deepens through study, and ends in love. Ā Ā
