Therefore, be bravely obedient when in the future I send you out amongst people. Wherever you may find yourself I shall not forsake you, or fail to visit you, as is My custom, and direct you in all that you are to do.

St. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor Angelicus

Dominican friar, philosopher and theologian. To think he was set to become a Benedictine abbot, instead he joined the unlikely poor friars of the Dominicans to become part of the radical mission in preaching the word of Christ.

.

I was not as familiar with this St. Thomas back then, but now knowing a lot more, I'm becoming so fond of him and his life.

I'm sorry I keep drawing them together, their fellowship really is so beautiful. 🥹

I haven't been active lately, and I'm so sorry I didn't get to make an actual piece for our dear Francis 😭

St. Anthony of Padua, the Evangelical Doctor

An educated Augustinian turned Franciscan priest, one of his most notable achievement is his deep knowledge of the scriptures and his faith in the words of Christ.

.

I love when watching documentaries about him from Franciscan orders, he was looked up as a "big brother", and now I can't stop thinking about it.
