OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
From the life and writings of St Thomas Aquinas, it will be argued that humility, best exemplified according to Jesus by the little child (cf. Matthew 18: 3), is necessary for the attainment of wisdom. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones (Psalm 18: 8). This humility, therefore, combined with the purity of heart, of which we have spoken, and the great assiduity in holy prayers, made Thomas’s soul docile and tender both to receive and to follow the impulses and illuminations of the Holy Spirit, in which the substance of contemplation consists (Pope Pius XI, Studiorum ducem (1925, for the 700th anniversary of St Thomas’s birth).
