"FEW" throughout the world who make the sacrifice of praying all
night. • Holy Communion

Worldwide sanctification a/the Family
Through the Alliance a/the Two Hearts Way
 Saint Thomas Aquinas
If there is a theme to the saints depicted in the windows above the sanctuary, it is that all but
one are Benedictines, bearing witness to the faithful ministry of the monks and sisters of st.
Bernard Abbey and Sacred Heart Monastery for 120 years. Here is the exception: St. Thomas
Aquinas, second to the right from the Sacred Heart window. Although Thomas was a member of
the Order of Preachers or Dominicans, he had an important tie to the Order of St. Benedict. He
received his earliest education at the Monastery of Monte Cassino, which was founded by St.
Benedict.
Old timers at Sacred Heart grew up hearing that the
inclusion of Thomas Aquinas in the windows above the
sanctuary was a mistake. They heard that St. Gregory, who
is among the four doctors of the church shown in the
south sidewall, should have the spot Thomas Aquinas
occupies and Thomas Aquinas should be where Gregory is
now. There are valid arguments to swap the windows or
to leave them where they are.
Gregory is a Benedictine saint, and also a pope. He and
Saints Ambrose, Augustine and Jerome were the first four
men to be declared doctors of the church. They all lived in
the early centuries of the church. Thomas Aquinas, on the
other hand, lived from 1225 to 1274, almost 1,000 years
after the early doctors. Thomas Aquinas is also a doctor of
the church, but more than that he is considered one of the
greatest Christian theologians.
Perhaps there is a more mundane reason for Thomas
Aquinas' inclusion with the Benedictines. As Father
Ignatius Meyer, O.S.B.,was making decisions during the
construction of Sacred Heart from 1913-1916, the
company that designed our windows may not have had
any other designs of Benedictine saints available.
Whatever the reason for Thomas Aquinas' inclusion in
our windows, the most important thing to remember
about him is his theological writing. The pinnacle of his
achievement is Summa theoloqiae, which he claimed was
merely intended to instruct beginners in Catholic
theology. In all his masterful works, Thomas was able to
combine rational science and abstract faith. If you want to
read it, Summa theologiae is still in print.
In addition to his great theological writings, Thomas
Aquinas also wrote "Pange Lingua" for the Feast of Corpus
Christi.
The dove in the stained glass window is a symbol of the
Holy Spirit. Unlike other saints, Thomas Aquinas is not associated with a particular miracle or
historic event. When he is depicted in a painting, he is often shown with a dove, whereas St.
Benedict, St. Bernard and others are shown with crosiers, a symbol of a shepherd, which is still in
use today by abbots, bishops and popes.
Ifyou want to make a donation to restore this and the other beautiful stained glass windows
of Sacred Heart, mark your check "Stained Glass Window Fund."
