The Church of the Portiuncula…was where he gathered the little knot of friends and enthusiasts…the adoration of Christ had been a part of the man’s passionate nature for a long time past. But the imitation of Christ, as a sort of plan or ordered scheme of life, may in that sense be said to begin here.

Sorry Chesterton but I’m giving up on this one for the moment. Chesterton focus of Aquinas’ life was just not what I was expecting and I get what people mean now when they say he can ramble. I’m not giving up on Chesterton, but I’m putting this one away for a later time…
