Thomas Aquinas and the Offices

Just a reminder -- we still have Eucharist on Wednesday night at 7 PM this week. Enter LMC by the red doors and go upstairs to the chapel.

I figured since we are commemorating so many Lutheran "saints" during Lent, we will commemorate one of the foremost RC saints this week, Thomas Aquinas. His feast day was today.

Plus I think it's hard to understand Luther without understanding Aquinas, since Aquinas was (and is) the foremost theologian in the RC tradition.

Anyway, here are the Office readings for this week.
