                 Meet me at the Passage

Foreword  –  St. Thomas Aquinas

3/2/2022

 
 
Aquinas says of scripture that

"the manner of its speech

transcends every science,

because in one and the same sentence,

while it describes a fact,

it reveals a mystery" [i]  
 
 
Thomas Aquinas   (died 1274)
