One of the Greatest Stories in Church History - Why Thomas Aquinas Never Finished Summa Theologica

This story is a real gem. One of the Greatest Stories in Church History. Why Thomas Aquinas Never Finished Summa Theologica? St. Thomas Aquinas is considered by many to be in the top 5 most influential people in church history . Thomas Aquinas penned close to 60 known works. The influence of his writing has been so great, in fact, that an estimated 6,000 commentaries on his work exist to date. His greatest work called Summa Theologica which is considered by many to be the largest and one of the most complete theological document ever written. It is "one of the classics of the history of philosophy and one of the most influential works of Western literature."
9 Years into working on this document he had a vision during mass on December 6th 1273. What exactly he saw is unknown.

But he is quoted shortly after as saying "I can do no more. Such secrets have been revealed to me that all I have written now appears to be of little value, it seems to me as of so much straw ."

Many commentators say He walked around the rest of his life in a stupor and barely spoke much. And Aquinas declared he would write no more
Two years later Aquinas died and his most important life's work and one of the greatest theological documents would be left uncompleted. The third and final section of this document had to be completed by one of his closet friends

Theological education is important. But one experience with God can Trump all that. Let us be people who seek after the face of God that makes the greatest theological works of man of little value. Let us be like Moses who asked God "show me your glory".
