story goes that Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the world's greatest theologian, toward

that his work was unfinished, Thomas replied, "Brother Reginald, when I
was at prayer a few months ago, I experienced something of the reality of Jesus
Christ. That day, I lost all appetite for writing. In fact, all I have ever
written about Christ seems now to me to be like straw.
