Aquinas perhaps is best known as the last of the great classical philosophers. In addition, he is arguably the greatest Christian Theolgian.

Tantum Ergo, and Salutaris Hostia lead us to Light Itself, God.
My favorite song written by the Angelic Doctor is Adore te Devote. I've complied two videos: The First is performed by the nice monks at Mount Angel Abby, Oregon. These videos combined require maybe eight minutes to watch/listen.
The second video is very appropriate for a Lenten observance because it accompanies a visual tour of the Passion of Our Lord, at The Shrine of Christ's Passion, Saint John's, IN:
