The Wisdom of St Thomas Aquinas

This Friday (28th January) we keep the feast of StThomas Aquinas. As a young novice, this saint was%!�#'��&���%����%%��&�%��������������!��� ��+��-&����'���!*.����&�&��%�#'��&����'$��)� &�! �&!����!���one of the cleverest men in history.

His greatest work (though he wrote many) was the Summa Theologica, a sort of compendium of Catholic philosophy and theology which��!��%� � &� ���� �!$� -���� �$%.� , though it is in fact one of themasterpieces of Christian thought!

Towards the beginning of his great work, Thomas gives his famous-��(�� )�+%.� &�$!'��� )����� � +� �'�� � ��� ��� �(� � )�&�!'&� &���assistance of Divine Revelation, can come to know the existence ofGod. The five ways are these:

1. Movement. In the world we see motion , but motion implies a�!(�$�� � �� '�&���&��+� �� -��$%&� �!(�$.�� &��� $��%! � �!$� ���� �!&�! � ,and this we call God.

2. Cause. Things in the world are produced by their causes , but thesein turn were produced by their causes, and so on. Ultimately there�'%&����� �-' ��'%�����'%�.�!$�-��$%&��'%�.�, and this we call God.

���! &� �� �+����� �%�)������$�� !&� ���%%�$+��$���������-�! &� �� &.�, they come into existence, decay and ultimately pass away.Our whole world, in fact, is contingent. But contingent things demandas their ultimate explanation a non-contingent, necessary being ,and this we call God.

4. Perfection. Looking round the world we see that some thingsare more perfect than others. But this implies there must besomething which is most perfect, against which everything else isjudged , and this we call God.

5. Order. The universe we see around us is ordered , were it not,no sort of life could exist. But order implies a Mind, which brings aboutthe order , and this we call God.

In an age which often opposes faith and reason, St Thomas reminds usthat human learning can and should be in harmony with DivineWisdom. The world around us is a gift from God , and the better weunderstand it, the nearer to Him we grow.

A Prayer for Setting up the Crib(4th week of Advent)

Heavenly Father,bless us as we prepare this Crib.Fill us with faith and devotionthat we may prepare our hearts

to welcome Christ with joyfor He is Lord for ever and ever.

A Prayer on placing Jesus inthe Crib on Christmas Day

Heavenly Father,bless us all who look upon this Christmas Crib with devotion.

May it be the focus of our prayer,and the inspiration of our lives.

May we live, as the Holy Family,united in peace and in prayer.

Year of Parish Renewal(ie. Year of Faith in Action) 2013-14leading into our Year of Re-Dedication

(2014-15) and Year of Mission (2015-16).

Our Lord Jesus Christ came to renewall things, making His home in our hearts

as He is born for us at Christmas.

We pray that the new-born Saviour will renew our hearts in holiness, deepen our faith, and inspire us to put it into action.

Our initial Parish Priorities (for the first 3 months, December - February) are:• Sunday Mass - that every Parishioner

re-establish an absolute commitment to Sunday Mass as the source and summit of our week, so that missing Mass, or consider something else of higher priority, is not a Catholic option. (Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church 289, 290, 305). Arriving in good time before Mass begins is also the aim for us all this year.

• Informing & enlightening our Faith through Scripture and the Catechism, most easily with FREE daily bite-sized tidbits direct to your in-box or device so that you’ll have covered the whole Catechism of the Catholic Church in a year. Cool, right? (Or, alternatively, all 4 Gospels in our Year of Renewal).

Get the links from our website homepage (click on Read the Catechism...)or go to: flocknote.com/catechism or flocknote.com/gospel

• All our Parish Groups are considering their Renewal, reporting by 30th Jan.

The Parish Office is closed during the School Christmas holiday until Monday 6th January 2014and then open on weekday mornings, ie. Mondays - Fridays, from 09.30am until 12.30pm.
