		As such, this course serves as an enrichment of any previous exposure the student has had to the thought of Aquinas, as well as to all other theology courses.
		This course also heeds the repeated recommendation of the Catholic Church that St. Thomas should serve as the guide in the study of sacred theology (see, e.g., Vatican Council II, Optatam totius, §16).
		The principal text of Aquinas that we shall be examining is the Christological section (the Tertia pars) of the Summa theologiae, though readings will also be pulled from the Summa contra gentiles and the commentary on John’s Gospel (Super Ioannem).

		Os invito a pasar algunos ratos en compañía del Señor, para aprender “a vivir en trato familiar y constante con el Padre por su Hijo Jesucristo en el Espíritu Santo” (Optatam totius, 8).
		Los sacerdotes no están “destinados al mando o a los honores, sino a entregarse totalmente al servicio de Dios y al ministerio pastoral” (Optatam totius, 9).
		Esta actitud refuerza el sentido del servicio y de la disponibilidad para la misión eclesial y la apertura a la pastoral diocesana; así, estaréis unidos al obispo “como fieles cooperadores suyos y colaborando con los hermanos” (Optatam totius, 9).
