Welcome to Saints Alive, where we take you with us to meet God's most heroic

followers. The Saints were just ordinary boys and girls who allowed God's love

to transform them into real life

superheroes. Their love for God changed our world. Did you know that God has sent

you here to become a saint? It's up to you to choose love over fear, to be courageous, faithful,

and kind. The choice to become a saint won't be easy, but it will be worth it.

So listen closely and open your hearts. These real life tales of the

Saints from the past may just inspire you how to live your story. Let's go on

this adventure together. Oh, St Thomas Aquinas was one of the most influential theologians and philosophers of all time.

He revolutionized Catholic thought by helping to bridge the gap between faith and reason.

Even though he lived over 700 years ago, his work is still very much alive in the faith we practice today. Despite the countless writings we have from him, he never wrote anything about himself.

Thomas was the youngest of nine children born to Count to Landaupho and Countess Theodora

in their family castle at Rokaseika in Italy.

His father and brothers were soldiers who all shared a fighting spirit and, well, quite a temper.

Our story today begins with these brothers

on their way to capture 20-year-old Thomas

who had just taken vows as a family name.

If you get your hands on him, we've been searching all day and there's no sign of him.

You'd think looking the way he does someone would have seen him.

Well, if we don't bring him back to Mar and father, they don't want us to come back at all.

So let's get back to it.

He's going to pay for this.
