The paper explores two avenues to the union of the believer with God in Thomas Aquinas inspired by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, namely, the intellectual union in faith through the gift of understanding and the union in charity as the basis for the knowledge associated with the gift of wisdom. Both kinds of knowledge or “mystical theology” are open to any believer in the state of sanctifying grace and are its effects.
