Ad Laudes matutinas:
novus
Qui
luce splendes órdinis
apostolórum
máxima,
Thoma,
benígnus áccipe
laudes
tibi quas pángimus.
Te
lúcidis in sédibus
amóre
Christus cóllocat;
amóre
promptus éxpetis
tu
pro Magístro cómmori.
Te
torquet et diléctio
narrántibus
cum frátribus
vis
certus esse, vísere,
palpáre
Iesu vúlnera.
Quantóque
cordis gáudio
ipsum
misértum cónspicis,
Deúmque
dicis crédulus,
fervóre
adórans péctoris!
Nobísque
qui non vídimus
per
te fides fit ácrior,
fit
æstus et poténtior
quo
Christi amórem quærimus.
Christo
sit omnis glória,
qui
te rogánte præbeat
nobis
fide ambulántibus
ipsum
vidére pérpetim. Amen.
O Thomas, you who in the order of the apostles,
shine with the greatest light, kindly accept the praises we sing to you. Christ
in his love places you among the
resplendent thrones; you who compelled by love desire to die for your Master. But
love also harshly urges you, when your brothers relate the good news, to see
for certain, to see and touch the wounds of Jesus. How much joy of heart you
had when you see his mercy, and you believing proclaim him God and worship him with a fervent heart.
For us, who do not see, through you our faith is made stronger, our
fervor is made more powerful by which we seek the love of Christ. To Christ be
all glory, that by your intercession he
may make us walking by faith to behold
him forever. Amen.
