Thomas Aquinas

By our wounds we are known

One day while Thomas Aquinas was at his desk studying

He had a vision of a man

Dressed in white, light shining all about him

Looking glorious. 

And Thomas asked the man who he was. 

And the man said 

“I am your Lord”

And Thomas said,

“If you are my Lord, show me your wounds.”

And instantly the man disappeared. 

Because it was the devil disguising himself as Jesus. 

Jesus is known by His wounds. 

And so are we!

There are some Christians who outwardly look like Jesus,

But are only in disguise. 

It is By the wounds we bear. 

And the wounds we suffer

By forgiving and turning the other cheek. 

That We too will be known as True Christians.
