Tiny saint - Saint Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas lived in the 13th century and is perhaps the most influential thinker in the Christian Church. He was called "Dumb Ox" by his teachers as a young boy, but now many consider him as brilliant as the philosophers Plato and Aristotle. Yet, in his final hours, even with all he had written, Aquinas said that the wonders of God made his writings as valuable as "straw."
