^{Because of a heavy workload, a new baby due in February, the holidays, etc. the Aquinas Lesson is taking a break of an indefinite amount of time.}

^{I do hope to begin lessons again in the future.}

^{If you have never seen this page before, let me urge you to read past lessons.}

^{God Bless You!}

^{Student's Prayer
by St. Thomas Aquinas}

^{Creator of all things, true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of m understanding.}

^{Take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.}

^{Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally.}

^{Grant me the talent of being exact
in my explanations and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.}

^{Point out the beginning,
direct the progress,
and help in the completion.}

^{I ask this through Christ our Lord.}

^Amen.
