Today is the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, the commanding genius of medieval Catholicism. He is a living instance of the effective engagement between faith and reason. But reason always follows the experience of faith which is the experience of engagement with God. We can’t create it or manipulate it. The initiative is always God’s. But if we risk the venture of faith’s journey we will find God abundantly blessing and enriching our desire and offer.

About the Speaker: Father Michael Kelly is a Jesuit priest and English language publisher of the respected Jesuit periodical, La Civilta Cattolica.
