Thomas Aquinas had it too easy.
After penning his thoughts on the Eucharistic sacrament, Thomas took his written answer to church, laid it down in front of the altar and prayed to the Lord, asking him if his answer was correct. And he heard a Divine Answer right then and there.
Now, granted, not all of us have the mighty responsibility of shaping Church doctrine on our shoulders, but even in our everyday lives, we're faced with the question of whether what we are doing and saying conforms to what God has meant for us. Who wouldn't appreciate receiving a loud-and-clear A-OK from God on what (s)he is doing?
I suppose that explains the whole "What Would Jesus Do" phenomenon. Anyway, Happy Easter, and may we all relish in the joy of mystery!
