Wisdom from St. Thomas Aquinas

Bishop Robert Baron sends out a news letter from time to time. Yes, in part he is trying to promote and sell the Word on Fire resources for the New Evangelization. He is also sharing a wealth of teaching free of charge.

Here is a little something Word on Fire sent out today about St. Thomas Aquinas. It is intended to promote  their series Catholicism:Pivotal Players.

The quotes are especially rich in truth and  beauty.  The statement about loving both those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject struck me today. Both help us find the truth. The human tendency is to love those who love us and who think like we do, and to not love those who think differently. The Gospel asks us to love both those who love us and those who do not - or even just those who think differently.
