Spiritual Life according to St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Thomas had discovered that the “spiritual life” is simply our day-to-day life filled with the Holy Spirit’s extraordinary love and anointing. Holiness means performing the ordinary tasks of our call by a power not our own: the person and gifts of the Spirit given to us at our baptism…..Thomas became a saint, not by undertaking a life of rigorous mortifications nor by working great miracles, but by surrendering himself to the Holy spirit in his life’s task of proclaiming the good news of Jesus. (Fatula, M. A. Thomas Aquinas Preacher and Friend. p. 222-223.)
