| Summary: | On the three-year jubilee in honor of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Dominican friars of the community of Córdoba have considered it appropriate to add the attribute of the sun to the image that occupies the central niche of the altarpiece that bears his name in our basilica, which has led us to further study and explain in greater detail the meaning of such attribute. If the teaching of the Common Doctor has been compared to that of the other doctors as the brilliance of the sun to that of the stars, it is not due only to the depth and breadth with which he illuminated the fields of reason and faith, but also and especially for the way in which he managed to elucidate the relationship between them. Aquinas found in the divine Word the inexhaustible source of that light that radiates over both areas, precisely outlining their own edges and sharply describing their points of convergence and the harmony that exists between them. Comforted by the memory of so eloquent testimonies of the past, we confirm again today that the light with which the Sun of Aquinas shines on the Church and the world, far from being weak as that of a sunset, it is as clear as the light of the sun at noon. Con ocasión del jubileo de tres años en honor de santo Tomás de Aquino, los frailes dominicos de la comunidad de Córdoba hemos considerado oportuno añadir el atributo del sol a la imagen que ocupa la hornacina central del retablo que lleva su nombre en nuestra basílica, lo que nos ha llevado a estudiar más a fondo y a explicar con mayor detalle el significado de dicho atributo. Si la enseñanza del Doctor Común ha sido comparada a la de los demás doctores como el brillo del sol al de las estrellas, no es solo por la hondura y amplitud con las que iluminó los campos de la razón y de la fe, sino también y sobre todo por el modo en que logró esclarecer la relación entre ellos. El Aquinate encontró en el Verbo divino la fuente inagotable de esa luz que irradia sobre ambos ámbitos delineando con precisión sus contornos propios y describiendo con nitidez sus puntos de convergencia y la armonía que existe entre ellos. Reconfortados con el recuerdo de testimonios tan elocuentes del pasado, volvemos a constatar hoy que la luz con la que brilla el Sol de Aquino sobre la Iglesia y el mundo, lejos de ser débil como la de un ocaso, es clara como la luz del sol al mediodía. |
