On the day of 28 January
The commemoration of Saint Thomas Aquinas, priest of the Order of Preachers and doctor of the Church, who, graced with the greatest gifts of intellect, passed his extraordinary wisdom on to others through his prayers and writings. Making his way to the Second Ecumenical Council of Lyon after being summoned by the blessed Pope Gregory X himself, he died on the seventh of March in the monastery of Fossa Nuova in Latium and, after many years, on this day his body was translated to Toulouse.
