A Tribute of St. Albert the Great

St. Albert was a Dominican friar who was the teacher of Tommaso d'Aquino, often known as St. Thomas Aquinas.

He is also the patron of this blog, as he exemplifies some of my ideals and personality.
- He was a great teacher, and is the patron of teachers
- He is a Dominican, who lived by the guidelines of:
- Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare (to praise, to bless and to preach)
- Veritas (Truth)
- Contemplare et Contemplata Aliis Tradere (Study and share the fruits of your contemplation)

You can learn more about him here:

I hope that the blog helps me hone my skills as a teacher and a student of truth, as I go through the formation to become an academic.
