Today is the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas. I’d like to say something profound about Thomas, my favorite saint, but I’m feeling a little dopey today. However, many, many others have written profound things about him today; here’s a list.

First, Godzdogz has an excellent overview of his life and the importance of his work.

Next, science-fiction author Mike Flynn has a roundup of things Thomas had to say, and especially on the topic of science. They might surprise you.

Philosophy professor Edward Feser has a collection of things by Thomas and by others about Thomas that are worth reading on St. Thomas’ day.

Brandon has a thought of St. Thomas’ about how God illuminates our minds.

Lex Communis has a reflection on St. Thomas, and particularly on his poetry and prayers about the Eucharist—prayers that are still used by the Catholic Church to this day.

St. Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of students, philosophers, theologians, and (IMHO) software engineers, pray for us!
