A teologia do dia do senhor em Santo Tomás de Aquino

Abstract

The current Dissertation is a reflection upon Theology of Lord s daily life in St Thomas Aquinas. The research has, as a tool, the Summa Theologiae and the commandments of charity, written later, in the commandments. The theme discussesthe Lord s daily life in the context of the commandments, trying to understand the reflection of St Thomas Aquinas s Law (eternal, natural, human, old and new). This action leads to the Day of the Lord in the third commandment of Act of God, taking into consideration the biblical concept of the Exodus and Deuteronomy, making use of the theological elements of the ancient law and the new one given by Jesus Christ in the commandment of love to God and to the others. Thomas suggests sanctification as a central element of the Day of the Lord, which is a Day of Worship, in honor of God as well as end of the slave labor, in order to serve the Lord in community and celebrate His presence in Eucharist.
