PRAYER
TO ST. THOMAS
ACQUINAS
Angel of Schools, at
the
bidding of Peter,
Thousands today are
saluting thee thus.
We too are claiming thy
care and thy counsel,
Angel of Schools, be an
Angel to us.
Come to our aid when
thou hearest us calling,
Light up the dark, make
the rough places plain,
Bring to our thoughts the
unknown or forgotten,
Give us the words that we
seek for in vain.
| Philosopher, theologian, doctor of the
church (Angelicus Doctor), patron of Catholic universities,
colleges, schools and students. Born at Rocca Secca in the Kingdom of Naples, 1225 or
1227; died at Fossa Nuova, 7 March, 1274. |
