St Thomas Aquinas on God

Post by MarieT »

“The universe is ordered by God”

Aquinas believed the whole universe isn’t random—it’s like a giant symphony or a well-written story.
Everything has a purpose, and that purpose is to lead us back to the One who made it: God.
So:
- All good things point us upward.
- They’re not the final goal—they’re signposts leading us to the source of all goodness.
"He who followeth Me, walketh not in darkness." sayeth the Lord

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
