Happy Feast of St Thomas Aquinas
On 28th Jan 2025
St Thomas Aquinas Said: To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.’
Oh holy angelic Doctor,
You were a wise and intellect of the Holy Spirit
A true teacher of the Church
When the Church were in turmoil
Your teaching has enlightened the people, the Clergy and religious
The youth, the children, the wise and the old, praised your wisdom
Your wisdom has been taught to the seminarians in many Schools of Wisdom
You wrote and sang the beautiful hymns for Our Church
Which we are singing in the Churches, all over the world
You said ‘To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.’
You sang this song of adoration with the angelic choirs
TANTUM ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et iubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
What a beautiful composition you wrote again to sing along
1. O salutáris Hóstia,
Quae caeli pandis óstium:
Bella premunt hostília,
Da robur fer auxílium.
2. Uni trinóque Dómino
Sit sempitérna glória,
Qui vitam sine término
Nobis donet in pátria
In the Holy Scripture says: He will display the instruction he has received,
Taking his pride in the Law of the Lord’s covenant.
Many will praise his intelligence and it will never be forgotten.
His memory will not disappear,
Generation after generation his name will live.
Nations will proclaim his wisdom, the assembly will celebrate his praises.
If he lives long, his name will be more glorious than a thousand others,
And if he dies, that will satisfy him just as well.
Lord, we thank you, for such wonderful saints brought a great legacy for You
His name will be more glorious than a thousand others, and if he dies, that will satisfy him just as well.
When he was looked back about his work
And so the vision of the Lord and His immense wisdom
He said my wisdom is like straw, to be burned not worthy for anything
At last he said: Never have I said anything against you [Jesus], and if I have done so,
it is through ignorance, and I am not stubborn in my error.
If I have taught wrongly concerning this sacrament or the others,
I submit it to the judgment of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience to which I now leave this life.
But St Thomas Aquinas, your name will be remembered from generations to generations
