For those who believe, no explanation is needed. For those who don’t, no explanation will suffice.

I have a feeling it was St. Thomas Aquinas. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I have seen it attributed to Fr. John LaFarge.

So I suppose St. Thomas is it, maybe Father was just quoting him.

If I’m not mistaken, St. Thomas Aquinas in this quote seems to have been thinking of St. Augustine’s earlier remark that “For we believe in order to know, we do not know in order to believe”.
