The Feast of St Thomas Aquinas

 

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
