During these short winter days, the Catholic Church offers many ways to dispel night’s darkness. Keep the flame of faith alight by illuminating your mind with St. Thomas Aquinas, your soul with Candlemas and your children with the spiritual richness of a fast-approaching Lent.
Perhaps you’re a bit daunted about studying the work of St. Thomas Aquinas, a doctor of the Church known for his keen intellect. To honor his Jan. 28 feast day, check out one of many resources that make his teachings easy to grasp. TAN Books’ release, “The Traditional Virtues According to St. Thomas Aquinas: A Study for Men,” offers rich content you may want to peruse, especially before attending the similarly themed Catholic Men’s Conference on Feb. 10 at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Charlotte. Other Aquinas-related titles from TAN Books include a book for children, “St. Thomas Aquinas: The Story of the Dumb Ox” as well as the nine-day “Marian Consecration with Aquinas” and “A Tour of the Summa.”
