TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CCCII

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND:  This week's selected quotes come from the last meeting of the St. Sebastian Chesterton Society's reading of Thomas Aquinas:

QUOTE I:  "We might even say that the one thing which separates a saint from ordinary men is his readiness to be one with ordinary men. . . A saint . . . is the only sort of superior man who has never been a superior person."
 
QUOTE II:  "And poetry without philosophy has only inspiration, or, in vulgar language, only wind."
 
QUOTE III:  "There are those who maintain that there are is something that is both Yes and No.  I do not know whether they pronounce it Yo."
 
QUOTE IV:  "The Protestant theology of Martin Luther was a thing that no modern Protestant would be seen dead in a field with."
 
IN OTHER NEWS:
 
Eric Armusik started a new website featuring his ecclesial paintings.  There is also information how to commission art and a page where you can view some of his paintings.  Go here.
 
Mary sent this in:  "Aquinas College and the Dominican Sisters of Nashville just posted a little slide show of their visit to St. Sebastian under the July 15th entry on Sisters on the Road page."  Sr. Jane Dominic OP has recorded a free online course called "The Rich Gift of Love"
