Memorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas, priest of the Order of Preachers and Doctor of the Church, who, endowed with the highest gifts of intellect, handed on his surpassing wisdom to others through his prayers and writings. Summoned by Blessed Pope Gregory X himself to the Second Ecumenical Council of Lyons, he died while making the journey, in the monastery of Fossanova in Latium, on the seventh day of March; and many years later, on this day, his body was translated to Toulouse.
