I failed to publish a post yesterday.
It was the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274).
St. Thomas is one of 33 doctors of the Church. He is the greatest theologian of the Church. If you have a question about the faith he probably has an answer for it. His parents planned for him to be the Abbot of Monte Cassino, a famous monastery in Italy. While a young man he entered the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). His companions called him the Dumb Ox because he would never speak. They turned out to be wrong.
If you have some time you should read a little biography of his at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14663b.htm.

A little quote: "Nothing so likens you to God, as to forgive him who has injured you."
