St. Thomas Aquinas was a great theologian and is the patron saint of Catholic Schools. A prayer card in his honor has an image of him on the front and a prayer to him on the back.
Patron Saint of Catholic Schools
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 Schools,
who has wisdom without deceit and
does impart it without envy,
implore for us the Son of God.
Who is wisdom itself, 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 you, while on earth,
did ever shine, as the sun,
we may at last enjoy with you
eternally in heaven their sweeties fruits,
praising the divine wisdom through
endless ages. Amen.
