Words of Wisdom from Thomas Acquinas

"Give us, O God, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection my drag downwards; give us an unconquerable heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, O Lord our God, understanding to know Thee, diligence to seek Thee, wisdom to find Thee and a faithfulness that may finally embrace Thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"
