Hi everyone,
Saint Thomas Aquinas, 1225 to 1274, aka the Angelic Doctor, is one of my favorite saints. He is the patron saint of Students, Universities and Catholic Schools. His feast day is January 28.
Here’s a sample novena to pray for 9 days, so tomorrow, January 20, is the day to start in order to end on has feast day, January 28.
Saint Thomas Aquinas, patron of students and schools. I thank god for the gifts of light and knowledge God bestowed on you, which you used to build up the church in love. I thank god, too, for the wealth and richness of theological teaching you left in your writings. Not only were you a great teacher, you lived a life of virtue and you made holiness the desire of your heart. If I cannot imitate you in the brilliance of your academic pursuits, I can follow you in the humility and charity that marked your life. As Saint Paul said, charity is the greatest gift, and is open to all. Pray for me that I may grow in holiness and charity. Pray also for Catholic schools and for all students. In particular, please obtain the favor I ask during this novena, (mention your request.) Amen.
Say this novena for nine days in a row, or make your own novena in words in prayer and petition for 9 days.
