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 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 have 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.
