Summary
A profound prayer traditionally attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas, asking Christ to enlighten the mind, purify the heart, and bring order to the soul. The language has been slightly updated for clarity while preserving its original meaning and spirit. This prayer reflects a deeply Catholic understanding of the human person: that we do not generate truth on our own, but receive it as light from God. It asks for freedom from disordered desires, strength against temptation, and the grace to seek what is eternal over what is passing. A peaceful meditation for moments of study, discernment, or quiet recollection.
