5x7in St.Thomas Aquinas Icon

An original icon of St.Thomas Aquinas from our January Prayer Card Club! 

The sacraments played a huge role in the life of St.Thomas Aquinas and his pursuit of virtue. In this icon, the Eucharist radiates light as a sun at the center of his robes. This reminds us that Christ is the true light and source of all wisdom. As a Dominican friar devoted to a life of prayer, study, and preaching, Aquinas spent long hours before the Blessed Sacrament. His great theological works were attributed to this deep interior life of contemplation rather than just intellect.
And the scroll in this icon features his final prayer, Domine, non nisi Te (“Lord, nothing except You”) which again emphasizes that his life and his work was offered to Christ, who he loved above all else.
