The Catholic Man Show

St. Thomas Aquinas did not write about himself in his corpus of work. Adam and David rely on William of Tocco to tell us 16 things we didn't know about St. Thomas Aquinas's life.

We discuss:

• Thomas's mother
• Thomas as a baby
• When his mom wanted to confirm his vocation and prophesy
• Thomas being in a tower for 2 years
• St. Albert the Great
• Vision from St. Dominic
• Converting 2 Jews on Christmas
• Thomas's humility
• His secretary
• Thomas appearing to William after his death
• The inability for Thomas to consider people sinning
• The effect of his presence to others
• His family
• His physical appearance
• A vision from his sister
• And his excess tooth

Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press! “I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints. In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.
