On the Catholic Church's calendar, today is the feast of
St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the 33 Doctors of the Church. He wrote the famous
Summa Theologica that contains "
The Five Ways," proofs of God's existence that have been taught in seminaries and universities for many centuries, right up to the present day.
Aquinas is one of those over-achieving saints who makes me feel as though I can never make the grade. But I once read that a saint is really just a sinner who keeps trying. I have no proof to offer, but I certainly hope that's true.
