The book of Hebrews in the NT (Ch. 11 and 12) says we have a cloud of witnesses --and that's all the OT saints and the ones who died for Christ, and all our loved ones who have gone before. Twenty one years ago today my mother left us--but she's got a seat in the grandstand cheering us on, "Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us. . . "

Quite amazing these internet resources

Why buy a book or commentary on scripture written last year by a flash in the pan when you can have one written by Thomas Aquinas? Free.

Latin and English here.
