St. Thomas Aquinas
CONFESSOR, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Feast: January 28
The great outlines and all the important
events of his life are known, but biographers
differ as to some details and dates. Death
prevented Henry Denifle from executing his
project of writing a critical life of the
saint. Denifle's friend and pupil, Dominic
Prummer, O.P., professor of theology in the
University of Fribourg, Switzerland, has
taken up the work and is publishing the
"Fontes Vitae S. Thomae Aquinatis, notis
historicis et criticis illustrati"; and the
first fascicle (Toulouse, 1911) has appeared,
giving the life of St. Thomas by Peter Calo
(1300) now published for the first time. From
Tolomeo of Lucca . . . we learn that at the
time of the saint's death there was a doubt
about his exact age (Prummer, op. cit., 45).
The end of 1225 is usually assigned as the
time of his birth. Father Prummer, on the
authority of Calo, thinks 1227 is the more
probable date (op. cit., 28). All agree that
he died in 1274.
Landulph, his father, was Count of Aquino,
Theodora, his mother, Countess of Teano. His
family was related to the Emperors Henry VI
and Frederick II, and to the Kings of Aragon,
Castile, and France. Calo relates that a holy
hermit foretold his career, saying to
Theodora before his birth: "He will enter the
Order of Friars Preachers, and so great will
be his learning and sanctity that in his day
no one will be found to equal him" (Prummer,
op. cit., 18). At the age of five, according
to the custom of the times, he was sent to
receive his first training from the
Benedictine monks of Monte Cassino. Diligent
in study, he was thus early noted as being
meditative and devoted to prayer, and his
preceptor was surprised at hearing the child
ask frequently: "What is God?" About the year
1236 he was sent to the University of Naples.
Calo says that the change was made at the
instance of the Abbot of Monte Cassino, who
wrote to Thomas's father that a boy of such
talents should not be left in obscurity
(Prummer, op. cit., 20). At Naples his
preceptors were Pietro Martini and Petrus
Hibernus. The chronicler says that he soon
surpassed Martini a grammar, and he was then
given over to Peter of Ireland, who trained
him in logic and the natural sciences. The
customs of the times divided the liberal arts
into two courses: the Trivium, embracing
grammar, logic, and rhetoric; the Quadrivium,
comprising music, mathematics, geometry, and
astronomy . . . . Thomas could repeat the
lessons with more depth and lucidity than his
masters displayed. The youth's heart had
remained pure amidst the corruption with
which he was surrounded, and he resolved to
embrace the religious life.
Some time between 1240 and August, 1243, he
received the habit of the Order of St.
Dominic, being attracted and directed by John
of St. Julian, a noted preacher of the
convent of Naples. The city wondered that
such a noble young man should don the garb of
poor friar. His mother, with mingled feelings
of joy and sorrow, hastened to Naples to see
her son. The Dominicans, fearing she would
take him away, sent him to Rome, his ultimate
destination being Paris or Cologne. At the
instance of Theodora, Thomas's brothers, who
were soldiers under the Emperor Frederick,
captured the novice near the town of
Aquapendente and confined him in the fortress
of San Giovanni at Rocca Secca. Here he was
detained nearly two years, his parents,
brothers, and Sisters endeavouring by various
means to destroy his vocation. The brothers
even laid snares for his virtue, but the
pure-minded novice drove the temptress from
his room with a brand which he snatched from
the fire. Towards the end of his life, St.
Thomas confided to his faithful friend and
companion, Reginald of Piperno, the secret of
a remarkable favour received at this time.
When the temptress had been driven from his
chamber, he knelt and most earnestly implored
God to grant him integrity of mind and body.
He fell into a gentle sleep, and, as he
slept, two angels appeared to assure him that
his prayer had been heard. They then girded
him about with a white girdle, saying: "We
gird thee with the girdle of perpetual
virginity." And from that day forward he
never experienced the slightest motions of
concupiscence.

Runemagick - On Funeral Wings
History
Started in late 1990 with mid-tempo
death/doom/black kind of metal style inspired
by old death and black metal bands like
Celtic Frost, Bathory, Autopsy, Hellhammer,
Tiamat
The music has developed over the years as a
result of several line-up changes, many
recording sessions and releases.
With the album Darkness Death Doom (2002) and
current line-up, Runemagick finally shaped an
own style and forged the formulas of
darkness, death and doom -metallic sounds,
influenced by old death/black metal roots
mixed with mid/slow heavy groove and
apocalyptic soundscapes.
The line-up has been stable since fall of
2002 with Nicklas Rudolfsson - guitars &
voice, Emma Rudolfsson - bass and Daniel
Mojjo Moilanen on drums.
