Prayer
Prayer to St. Thomas Aquinas
Angel of Schools, at the
bidding of Peter,
Thousands today are
saluting thee thus.
We too are claiming thy
care and thy counsel,
Angel of Schools, be an
Angel to us.
Come to our aid when thou
hearest us calling.
Light up the dark, make
the rough places plain,
Bring to our thoughts the
unknown or forgotten,
Give us the words that we
seek for in vain.
