A prayer for the Feast Day of Saint Thomas Aquinas

Posted by Kendall Harmon

Almighty God, who hast enriched thy Church with the singular learning and holiness of thy servant Thomas Aquinas: Enlighten us more and more, we pray thee, by the disciplined thinking and teaching of Christian scholars, and deepen our devotion by the example of saintly lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Time to sing a Te Deum for the feast day of my favorite saint!  If only there was some way to get my other favorite saint added to the calendar (Karl Barth)!

Very interesting combination, Bill.  Thanks for sharing that revealing tidbit about yourself.

I’d be in favor of recognizing Barth as a Doctor of the Church, along with some of my own favorite theologians, including Martin Luther and John Henry Newman.

But just to be a little cheeky, after you’ve sung that Te Deum, how about chanting the Angelic Doctor’s Te Adorote?
