Of the theologians of the Roman Catholic church, none has had as profound an influence as Thomas Aquinas. In turn, his theology -- which says a great deal about love, hope, the goodness of creation, happiness, and so on -- has had a profound effect on spirituality. Even so, few people today have a clear appreciation of Thomas as a spiritual master.Praying with Thomas Aquinas offers readers the chance to engage Thomas as a worthy companion for the journey, for here we encounter a saint who was much more a mystic than a cold logician. We meet a theologian who admitted that all his writings amounted to nothing when compared to his experience of Jesus Christ. We walk with the man whose heartfelt desire was to have "Nothing but you, O Lord!"Houle, Mary Mercy is the author of 'Praying With Thomas Aquinas Companions for the Journey' with ISBN 9780884895619 and ISBN 0884895610.
