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.

‘The text goes on: "And Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old." Why did it indicate to us his age, too? For you to learn how long he had been entrusted with the control of Egypt. He was seventeen when he went down to Egypt, and it was when he reached the age of thirty that he appeared before Pharaoh and interpreted his dreams. He then held complete control of Egypt for eighty years. Do you see how the rewards were greater than the hardships and the recompense manifold? For thirteen years he struggled with temptations, suffering servitude, that illicit accusation, ill-treatment in prison. Since he nobly bore everything with thankfulness, accordingly he attained generous rewards even in the present life.

Consider, after all, I ask you, that as a result of that short period that he endured servitude and imprisonment he occupied a royal position for eighty years. For proof that it was by faith that he did all this and for the same motive gave directions about the transfer of his bones, listen to [the words of the Letter to the Hebrews]: "By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites" (Heb. 11:22).’

I am completely and utterly convinced that nothing that St. Paul has ever said goes harder than “For it is not I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”

"You are my companion and must walk with me. For if we hold together, no earthly power can withstand us."

St. Dominic to St. Francis, his good friend.

Saints lore blowing my mind 🤯

Did you know St. Dominic and St. Francis met one day and they became homies?

And it's really cool that even the two orders visit each of their founder's feast day, representing the union of their friendship even years after their passing.

I loved all the different icons and art of my favorite saints together. And it genuinely suprised me that they actually met and became friends through their mutual goal and faith.

This is also one of my first where I put more people in it 'cause was important I depicted them with their followers.
