The feast day of the Angelic Doctor

God our Father, in your providence you gave to the Church Saint Thomas Aquinas as a champion of Truth and a model for holiness: by his merits and teaching grant that we may always be engaged in searching and delighting in your truth. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become "the most abject of men, a man of sorrows", I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. O Jesus, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen.
