    I am a student of St. Dominic and so I remember today an important member of the Dominican Family. He was a great teacher and bishop. In the middle ages, he studied all branches of science, including the Queen of Sciences, SACRA DOCTRINA. He knew that we cannot dismiss human reason in our study and search for God. Just as grace builds on nature and perfects it, so St. Albert knew that faith as a gift and a virtue builds on human reason and perfects it. He taught St. Thomas well. St. Albert is the one who said to St. Thomas’ classmates who called him a “Dumb Ox” that Thomas, that Dumb Ox, will give out a bellow that will shake the whole world. Albert outlived St. Thomas by five years.

     Lord God, you made St. Albert great by his gift for reconciling human wisdom with divine faith. Help us so to follow his teaching that every advance in science may lead us to a deeper knowledge and love of you. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
