About St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope John XXII said:
"A man can derive more profit in a year from his books than from pondering all his life the teaching of others."

And Pope Pius XI added:
"We now say to all who are desirous of the truth: 'Go to St. Thomas.' "

But when we do go to Thomas - when we open his massive Summa Theologica or another of his works - we're quickly overwhelmed, even lost.

If we find him hard to read, how can we even begin to "think like Aquinas?"

Now comes Kevin Vost armed with a recently rediscovered letter St. Thomas himself wrote - a brief letter to young novice monk giving practical, sage advice about how to study, how to think, and even how to live.
