O saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of heaven to man below,
Our foes press on from every side,
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

— Thomas Aquinas

More quotes by Thomas Aquinas

Charity, by which God and neighbor are loved, is the most perfect friendship.

Virtue’s true reward is happiness itself, for which the virtuous work, whereas if they worked for honor, it would no longer be virtue, but ambition.

Reason in man is rather like God in the world.

The highest perfection of human life consists in the mind of man being detached from care, for the sake of God.

Summa contra Gentiles (1259)

It must be said that charity can, in no way, exist along with mortal sin.
