Behind the Inspiration
Through his prodigious theological works and beautiful Eucharistic hymns, Thomas teaches clearly the truth of God. But after being given a vision of Christ near the end of his life, this Doctor of the Church found he could write no more, saying that all of his works seemed like straw compared to the glory he had seen.
St. Thomas’s feast day is January 28.

You’ll get the cleanest, longest, and safest burn from your candle with a few simple steps:
- Always trim the wick before lighting to 1/8”–1/4”
- Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling
- Burn only up to 4 hours at a time
- Always keep a burning candle in sight, away from flammable materials, out of drafts, out of reach of pets and children, and on a heat-safe surface
- Keep out of direct sunlight
Lovely scents that turn the mind toward prayer
I love the fact that these candles are made with natural ingredients and the glass jars can be repurposed as rock or juice glasses. Because the ingredients are natural, I feel comfortable burning them in my home with my family around.
This is by far my favorite smell! It feels like what I imagine walking into an old monastery would smell like! Old books and stillness. Every time I light this one it instantly brings peace.
The smell isn't overpowering which is usually the problem with candles for my sister who gets migraines if they're too strong. Beautiful packaging too.
Summa
The scents are amazing - not overwhelming but so true to the thing they are conveying. I adore these and will only buy these candles.
I love this candle’s scent. If you like a scent reminiscent of curling up in a chair with a good book in a corner of the library that smells like old books, this is for you or other book lovers in your life.
These candles are more than just a scent - they're truly a prayerful experience every time I light one. I keep one on my desk and light it during stressful or rough parts of the work day to help keep a focus on making holy moments out of ordinary ones. I'm drawn to the 'scent portrait' of each particular saint or candle theme, and try to use the appropriate candle for the day or event. Summa has been my go-to for our college-bound kids and their challenges - praying us all through this with the patron saint of students and universities...this scent is perfect (reminds me of the library, old college halls, study rooms, woodwork, quiet indoor spaces...hard to describe)
What a delightful, high quality product! Everything from accurate product scent description to speedy shipping makes this candle five stars! Looking forward to buying more candle scent varieties.
