Saint James of Jerusalem
Grant, we beseech thee, O God, that after the example of thy servant James the Just, brother of our Lord, thy Church may give itself continually to prayer and to the reconciliation of all who are at variance and enmity; through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Aquinas holds as a matter of faith that human beings are able to see or understand God (albeit without comprehending him). But to see God is not like seeing a horse, which we do by grasping the form of the horse and actualizing it in our mind. God has to “assist” our minds, with grace, if we are to see him. Which means that when we see God, God will become both subject and object in that act of seeing. Somehow, we are transformed into God. This is a great mystery, and the excitement of reading Aquinas is to see how far our minds can go as we try to understand it. You are welcome to join the Aquinas reading group on Wednesdays, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Andrew Hall.
No preparatory reading is required. But if you have the text and want to locate our discussion: we will start this evening, October 23, with the third article of the 12th question of the first part, i.e., Summa theologiae I.12.3 — and probably read articles 4 and 5 also.
