Today is the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas. He is a famed Dominican. He is known as a celebrated philosopher, theologian, and professor. But in the Dominican family, he is known for his humility, discipline, and obedience. And to me, he is loved as a poet.
Come Adore
Come adore this wondrous presence,
Bow to Christ the source of grace.
Here is kept the ancient promise
Of God's earthly dwelling place.
Sight is blind before God's glory,
Faith alone may see His face.
Glory be to God the Father,
Praise to his coequal Son,
Adoration to the Spirit,
Bond of love, in Godhead one.
Blest be God by all creation
Joyously while ages run.
