Ave Maria University | Ave Maria, FL

St. Thomas Aquinas preaches in his sermon Puer Iesus, "Just as your father begot you bodily, your teacher begot you spiritually." St. Thomas himself has been blessed with prodigious fecundity for teaching done in the Holy Spirit. Always, he leads us to think of the Blessed Trinity and all things from God's own view.

The Aquinas Center for Theological Renewal at Ave Maria University and the Thomistic Institute of the Pontifical Faculty at the Dominican House of Studies invite papers for their co-sponsored conference on St. Thomas Aquinas as Spiritual Teacher: Theology in a Culture of Grace. The conference will take place at Ave Maria, Florida on February 10-12, 2022. At this event where we celebrate the spiritual benefits of St. Thomas's theology, we will also honor Archbishop J.
