St. Thomas Aquinas

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.

Ever find yourself with a dilemma on Sunday when the ski slopes are calling you, but you haven’t attended Mass?  Head up Highway 210/Little Cottonwood Canyon to Alta, where you can ski all day and then attend Mass without having to move your vehicle.  For about twenty years, Catholic Utah skiers have been able to have the best of both worlds with a blessed convenience.  Mass is celebrated each Sunday throughout the Ski Season at 5:00pm.  Christmas and Easter Masses are at 10am as of the posting of this blog.  Our Lady of the Snows Center Station is located directly across from the Alta Canyon Lodge on the main road at 10185 E. Highway 210 ∙ Little Cottonwood Canyon ∙ Alta, UT 84092.  This station is served by Saint Vincent de Paul Parish in Salt Lake City ∙ Phone: (801) 272-9216

Today’s blessing was a pilgrimage within a pilgrimage if you are a winter buff, such as myself.  The higher I climbed in elevation, the more snow and “winter wonderland” I was able to experience.  After about fifteen minutes up Little Cottonwood Canyon, just past a
