re: Pope Denounces ‘Hypocrisy’ of Those Who Criticize LGBT Blessings

All things work for the Glory of God and all things will be made right.

I just hope all faithful Catholics — and indeed faithful Christians of all denominations — will join me in saying the student’s prayer to St. Thomas.

It is a prayer intended to bring understanding to those seeking the wisdom of the ages, a prayer to cast light on darkness and a prayer to lend clarity to the confused.

That last category certainly includes this Jesuit Pope.


O Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas, prince of theologians and guide of philosophers, shining ornament of the Christian world and light of the Church, heavenly patron of all Catholic education, who has wisdom without deceit and does impart it without pride, implore for us the Son of God, who is wisdom itself.

May Jesus bless me with a keen understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally. Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and aid in the completion of correct thought. Grant me further the talent of being exact in my explanations and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and grace.

That receiving within us the Spirit of wisdom, we may understand what you have taught and imitate what you have done, and that being made partakers of the wisdom and virtue in which the sun, while on earth, did ever shine, that we may at last enjoy with you eternally in heaven their sweetest fruits, praising the divine wisdom through endless ages.

Amen.
