Patron saint of students and studies. We always know he didn’t teach that we had to study, and that we had to learn to be able to get him; but what I don’t know I didn’t teach was that we students have a patron saint who is willing to help you regardless of the academic problems we have.
a lot of us sometimes we had some flaws in a subject or in a content; but nobody told us who was the Saint who protected us as a student, and through this article we will show you which is the Saint who protects you as a student.
Patron saint of students and studies
Saint Thomas Aquinas is the patron saint of students and teachers. Many of us are unaware of his patronage and the reasons why this saint is our patron saint and this day is a holiday.
The main cause is that He was a Saint who dedicated his life to study, and because he also got his doctorate and was a professor at many universities such as: Rome, Naples, Bologna, Viterbo and Orvieto among others.
Saint Thomas Aquinas Lorenzo one of the great philosophers and theologians of the Catholic Church, particularly for study in depth the work of Aristotle and make it known to the world; but above all, and despite the fact that Aristotelianism was not very loved in the West until that moment.
Saint Thomas managed to show him that there is a harmony between faith and reason. Great is his legacy and his imposing architectural work:

St Thomas was born in Roccasecca (in the places of Aquinas)within a wealthy family that told him about his training in the abbey of Monte Cassino, and years later he moved to study at the prestigious university in Naples, where he was introduced to the philosophical thought of Aristotle.
After a long time in Naples, Saint Thomas received the message from God, and decided to enter the order of Santo Domingo, recently founded.
However, shortly after he began to wear the Dominican habit, his family opposed the decisionso she had to leave the convent and returned to spend time with her family.
When Saint Thomas came of age, he re-entered the Dominican order, and went to study theology in France, where he came into contact with all the works of Aristotleand he studied them carefully, obtaining Latin translations of these texts originally written in Greek.
He classified all of Aristotle’s philosophy showing what was valid, what was doubtful or what had to be rejected out of hand. After this work, Santo Tomás was called to Paris to be professor of theology in the Dominican chair, where he continued his immense literary work and where, years later, he died.
The surprising thing about the Patron Saint of studies
It should not surprise us that Aquinas, unlike Aristotle, was highly favorable towards the form of the merchant. commercial benefit, it declared, it was a stipend for the merchant’s employment and a reward for assuming the risks of transportation.
In a commentary on Aristotle’s Politics (1272), Aquinas pointedly warns that greater risks in the form of maritime transport generated greater profits for the merchants.
As I speak to the Sentences of Pedro Lombardowritten in the 1250s, Thomas followed earlier theologians in arguing that merchants could conduct their trade without committing sin.
EITHERtra may be in his later work was much more favourable, pointing out that merchants perform the important function of bringing goods from where they are abundant to where they are scarce.
Saint Thomas, patron saint of students
Santo Tomás affirms, therefore, that immigrants are not all the same, and that relations with foreigners are not either: there are relations that are peaceful and others that are warlike. This is how this Saint always expressed it he sought peace and helped many and it can help you too.
This teaching of Saint Thomas, which is based on the common leadership, today is “politically incorrect”. And yet it is perfectly logical.
The Angelic Doctor shows that living in a different country is very complex; it takes time to get to know their customs and, therefore, to understand their problems. I hope you liked it.
