A Student’s Prayer (by St. Thomas Aquinas)

Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance.

Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever.
Amen.

Catholic Prayer of the Day 21 July 2022 || Gospel – Matthew 13:10-17

¹⁰ Then the disciples went up to him and asked, ‘Why do you talk to them in parables?’

¹¹ In answer, he said, ‘Because to you is granted to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not granted.

¹² Anyone who has will be given more and will have more than enough; but anyone who has not will be deprived even of what he has.

¹³ The reason I talk to them in parables is that they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding.

¹⁴ So in their case what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah is being fulfilled: Listen and listen, but never understand! Look and look, but never perceive!

¹⁵ This people’s heart has grown coarse, their ears dulled, they have shut their eyes tight to avoid using their eyes to see, their ears to hear, their heart to understand, changing their ways and being healed by me.

¹⁶ ‘But blessed are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear!

¹⁷ In truth I tell you, many prophets and upright people longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it.
