Italian Dominican theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas was one of the most influential medieval thinkers of Scholasticism and the father of the Thomistic School of Theology. The most beautiful hymns that the Liturgy of the Church sings to celebrate the mystery of the Real Presence of the Body and Blood of the Lord in the Eucharist are attributed to his faith and his theological wisdom. One of his former pupils professed that a vast multitude of students took Thomas’ courses, so many that the halls could barely accommodate them; and this student added that “listening to him brought him deep happiness”. He was canonized in 1323 and declared Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius V. St. Thomas Aquinas is known for being a priest and doctor of the Church, patron of all universities and of students. He is a model not just for thinking, but also for living and for philosophers and non-philosophers alike. Born toward the end of 1226, his feast day is January 28th.
