Abstract: Thomas Aquinas continues to be a valuable resource in the theological and pastoral formation of seminarians. Not only his writings but also his personal example of faith and prayer provide a foundation to sustain them throughout their priestly vocation.

Abstract: Saint Thomas Aquinas is often considered a model for the intellectual formation of future priests. His positive influence on their spiritual formation merits further consideration. This essay examines three areas of St. Thomas's teaching that prove useful for those in priestly formation: (1) the true nature of holiness as a life animated by the theological and moral virtues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, (2) the sanctifying capacity of philosophical and theological study, and (3) the importance of the Eucharist in the lives of seminarians and priests. In each case, St. Thomas's teaching conforms to the documents of the Church's Magisterium that guide the work of priestly formation.

Abstract: In light of the newly-published sixth edition of the Program of Priestly Formation, and other ecclesial documents, this essay offers reflections on philosophy's role in seminary formation. It discusses the value of requiring seminarians to study philosophy at all, and the value of requiring them to study St. Thomas's philosophy in particular. Philosophy prepares a priest to study theology, but it aids his pastoral ministry in ways that go well beyond this. The paper also addresses dangers involved with putting an emphasis on St. Thomas.

Abstract: The thought and pedagogical methodology of St. Thomas Aquinas can and should inform priestly pastoral formation. To this end, the article begins by sketching the main elements of priestly ministry, aided by Thomas and the Second Vatican Council. It outlines modern systematic and magisterial approaches to priestly pastoral formation. For all of the surveyed sources, Jesus Christ is the model for priestly ministry and the focus for priestly formation. The article then presents how pastoral formation was a motivating force for Thomas in his writing and preaching. The author theorizes Thomistic helps for pastoral formation today. Thomas gives theological principles that are of fundamental importance for fruitful pastoral life. The most important is that all theology and pastoral practice flow from a unified, godly perspective. But Thomas's principles must be developed for pastoral practice. As such, the author proposes how theologians and seminary formators can further expand upon and implement Thomas's insights.

Angel Perez-Lopez
Abstract: This paper claims that Aquinas is a master of priestly human formation because he excels in fulfilling the Magisterium's requirements of a human formation that is pedagogical, integral, theological, and Christocentric. The reality signified by the expression "priestly human formation" can be found in the Magisterium from Pius IX to the present. The Church implicitly characterizes this dimension of formation as pedagogical, integral, theological, and Christocentric. The Angelic Doctor is a master who offers the theological and philosophical tools to develop a priestly human formation with these same characteristics.

Abstract: This article outlines the relationship between Aquinas's thought and priestly formation, beginning in the thirteenth century and ending with the twentieth-century Magisterium. In relation to the other articles in this special issue, this article is meant to serve as a kind of introduction, providing important historical context for those more specialized treatments of the relevance of Aquinas's thought for different aspects of priestly formation today. Beginning with his personal formation for the priesthood, this article examines Aquinas's role in the formation of priests during his own life, and then the subsequent role of Aquinas's thought in priestly formation before the Council of Trent, and during the post-Tridentine period until the twentieth century.
