Cnytr has posted some lovely engravings from a late medieval codex on the life of St Thomas Aquinas. Kudos!
Quod scripsi, scripsi- Lawrence Lew OP | 1:59 am
Contemplata aliis Tradere
A meagre contribution to the mission and work of the Order of Preachers: my reflections, thoughts, ideas and the occasional rant on matters mainly theological, philosophical and ecclesiastical, drawn primarily from my reading and experience of life and the world. Striving to be always Catholic, firmly Christian and essentially Dominican, flavoured with dashes of Von Balthasar.

Sancta Maria, succurre miseris, iuva pusillanimes, refove flebiles: ora pro populo, interveni pro clero, intercede devoto femineo sexu: sentiant omnes tuum iuvamen, quicumque tuum sanctum implorant auxilium. Alleluia!
Holy Mary, succour those in need, help the faint-hearted, console the tearful: pray for the laity, assist for the clergy, intercede for all devout women: may all feel the power of your help, whoever prays for your holy aid. Alleluia!
O lumen Ecclesiae, Doctor veritatis, Rosa patientiae, Ebur castitatis: Aquam sapientiae propinasti gratis; Praedicator gratiae, nos junge beatis!
O light of the Church, Teacher of truth, Rose of patience, Ivory of chastity: You have freely poured out the Waters of wisdom; Preacher of grace, unite us to the Blessed!
Almighty and provident God, through the intercession of Blessed Mary, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, and of all the angels and saints, we earnestly beg you to bless, guide and support our Holy Father, Benedict XVI. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
