Aquinas Learning: Cycle 2

WELCOME AQUINAS FAMILIES - We offer up all our endeavors to the Most High, the source and summit of all that is True, Good, and Beautiful! We pray that we may SEE what He is showing us, HEAR what He is telling us, LEARN what He is teaching us, and SERVE how He is asking us to serve in this life in order to be with Him in the next. 

Love what is worth loving - 
"Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you." - St. Paul: Philippians 4:6-9

Prayer of St. Thomas

Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.

Behold, wonder, and contemplate -
truth, goodness, and beauty,
and have the confidence God deserves
while you teach the next generation
to love the things worth loving!

Litany of the Most Precious Blood: https://www.ourcatholicprayers.com/litany-of-the-most-precious-blood.html

PRAYER

O precious Blood of Jesus, infinite price paid for the redemption of sinful mankind. O Divine Blood, drink and laver of our souls, standing between us and the Father pleading mercy.

With all my heart I adore You, sweet Lord, and offer reparation for the insults, outrages and ingratitude, which You continuously receive from human beings, especially those who dare blaspheme the Divine Blood You shed for us.

Bless this Blood of Infinite value. Bless the fire of Jesus’ Love who shed it to the last drop for us. Where would I be if not for this Divine Blood that redeemed me? Indeed, Lord, I have drawn it from You to the last drop. What love! Thank You for this saving balm!

May every heart, every tongue, now and forever, praise and thank this priceless balm, this saving Blood, this fountain of crimson Mercy welling up from the fountain of infinite Love. Amen
