For November, we will be reading some excerpts from St. Thomas Aquinas on Ethics.
Please see some recommendations below to help guide your reading.
If you (like me) have never had the courage to read any of the works by Aquinas, here's your chance to do it in bite size chunks with friendly company, recommended commentary and a discussion led by one of our knowledgeable long-time members.
We will be meeting virtually via Zoom on Sunday November 15th at 6pm. BYOB ��
Please reach out if you would like an invitation to the meeting.
Stay safe!

I recommend Summa of the Summa, Peter Kreeft, section VII, A-G. This has significant excerpts from Aquinas's Summa Theologica, with commentary.
If you'd rather read the original (but translated), without commentary or abridgment, it is available at https://www.newadvent.org/summa/
Prima Secundae Partis
Happiness 1-5 Willing 6-13 Good and Evil 18-21 Love 26-29 Virtues 55-70 Vices 71-89 Law 90-108
If particular sections interest you most, feel free to read out of order. The Summa is written like an encyclopedia, in that sections don't really depend much on each other.
