Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas

Message from St. Thomas Aquinas given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Thomas Aquinas comes. He says: "Good day! Praise be to Jesus. Today I have come to give the world some meditations as they approach the Divine Presence in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist."

"Imagine, if you will, Anna and Simeon in the temple awaiting the arrival of their Messiah. In their hearts they recognized His Divine Presence, as the young Mary carried Him into the temple. When you are about to receive Him--Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity--ask for the same grace--that you will recognize His Presence."

"Imagine the joy of the Wise Men and the shepherds when they came upon their Savior after following the star. Let grace be the 'star' that leads you to discover Jesus in the tabernacle."

"Imagine Blessed Mother's joy after searching for Her Son for three days when She comes upon Him speaking in the temple. Imagine Her love and exaltation as He placed His youthful Hand in Hers."

"Imagine John the Baptist in the womb of his mother--who, upon just hearing Mary's greeting as She approached--was sanctified."

"Finally, imagine Blessed Mother's joy as She was reunited with Her Beloved Son after He rose from the dead."

"Never receive the Holy Eucharist matter-of-factly. Approach Him with love and longing in your heart. It is at communion the Lord finds rest in the temple of your heart."
