Prayer to Saint Thomas Aquinas

O great student of knowledge and wisdom,

Whose great efforts attempted to synthesize the greatest works of faith and reason;

But knew with the greatest humility that compared to the Divine itself such works were ‘like straw.’

Pray that the Lord may grant us, the students of knowledge, a great love of Truth, limited only by a love of God.

That we may have the faith to search for her in the storms of materialism and uncertainty,

And that we may become the great protectors and preachers of Truth’s beauty when we hold her in our midst.

For this we pray,

Amen

Prayer for Truth

Please o lord, set my mind at ease, and my heart at rest.

Let me behold the one I yearn for, the one I seek, the One True Faith.

Send her to me, in both my moments of great joy, and in the pits of utter despair.

Help me to see the beauty within her; that my heart will be set ablaze in my love for her.

 

May I be a worthy defender of her, in a world that finds her unattractive, or worse immaterial.

Make me a poet worthy of her great beauty and charm, that the world may know her name, and love her virtues.

But most important of all, make me worthy of her love, as I long for the day that she never lets me go.

 

For this I pray

Amen
