Prayer to St. Thomas Aquinas


Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas, prince of theologians and model of philosophers, bright ornament of the Christian world, light of the Church and patron of all Catholic schools, who didst learn wisdom diligently and dost communicate it liberally, pray for us to the Son of God who is Wisdom itself, that, by the coming of the Spirit of Wisdom upon us, we may clearly understand that which thou didst teach, and, by imitating thee, may bring to completion that which thou didst do; that we may be made partakers both of thy doctrine and thy holiness, whereby thou didst shine on earth even as the sun; and finally that we may enjoy with thee in heaven for evermore the most delectable fruits of the same, praising together with thee divine Wisdom through endless ages. Amen.

An indulgence of 300 days, once a day. A plenary indulgence once a month, under the usual conditions, when this prayer is said daily with devotion (S.C. Ind., July 3, 1885; S.P. Ap., Nov. 8, 1933). Extracted from The Raccolta.
