Isolde Cambournac has published a book on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the birth of the Angelic Doctor
Happy as God! Happiness according to St. Thomas Aquinas, is the title of Isolde Cambournac’s book, in French, published on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the birth of the Angelic Doctor (1225–2025).
The author, who holds a doctorate in theology from the University of Fribourg, is enthused about the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas and seeks to transmit his wisdom to as many people as possible in a language accessible to all. To this end, she gives lectures on the Internet, in particular on her YouTube channel.
To respond to the search for happiness, Isolde Cambournac “has chosen to take us to the school of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose reflections and intuitions, steeped in wisdom, on the eternal aspirations of human beings and their quest for supreme happiness, are still surprisingly relevant,” reads the book’s introduction.
Following closely the reflections of St. Thomas Aquinas, while drawing on her personal experience, the author offers keys to discern between false and true happiness, recalling that God is the source and the ultimate goal of happiness.
The feast of St. Thomas Aquinas is celebrated on January 28th, and let us remember that we are celebrating jubilee years: 700 years since his canonization (18 July 2023), 750 years since his death (7 March 2024), and 800 years since his birth, in 1225, in the castle of Rocaseca, near Aquino (Italy).
