O THOU, the Most High, have mercy on us.
Mighty One of Jacob, have mercy on us.
Divine Spirit, have mercy on us.
Great Triune God, have mercy on us.
have mercy on us.
Glorious Mother of the King of kings,
Saint Thomas of Aquin,
Worthy child of the Queen of Virgins,
Aquinas most chaste,
Aquinas most patient,
Prodigy of science,
Silently eloquent,
Reproach of the ambitious,
Lover of that life which is hidden with Christ in God,
Fragrant flower in the parterre of St. Dominic,
Glory of Friars Preachers,
Illumined from on high,
Angel of the Schools,
Oracle of the Church,
Pray for us.
Incomparable scribe of the Man-God,
Satiated with the odour of his perfumes,
Perfect in the school of his cross,
Intoxicated with the strong wine of his charity,
Glittering gem in the cabinet of the Lord,
Model of perfect obedience,
Endowed with the true spirit of holy poverty,
Pray for us.
Lamb of God, &c., three times.
ANT.—Oh, how beautiful is the chaste generation with glory, for the memory thereof is immortal, because it is known with God and man, and it triumpheth crowned for ever.
V. Oh! what have I in heaven, or what do I desire on earth?
R. Thou art the God of my heart, and my portion for ever.
PRAYER.
O God, who hast ordained that blessed Thomas should enlighten thy Church, grant that through his prayers we may practise what he taught, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
