Deus, qui tribus púeris mitigásti flammas ígnium: concéde propítius; ut nos fámulos tuos non exúrat flamma vitiórum. Actiónes nostras, quǽsumus, Dómine, aspirándo prævéni et adjuvándo proséquere: ut cuncta nostra orátio et operátio a te semper incípiat, et per te cœpta finiátur.
Da nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, vitiórum nostrórum flammas exstínguere: qui beáto Lauréntio tribuísti tormentórum suórum incéndia superáre. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.
R. Amen.
PRO OPPORTUNITATE SACERDOTIS
Oratio S. Thomæ Aquinatis
Grátias tibi ago, Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus, qui me peccatórem, indígnum fámulum tuum, nullis meis méritis, sed sola dignatióne misericórdiæ tuæ satiáre dignátus es pretióso Córpore et Sánguine Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Jesu Christi. Et precor, ut hæc sancta commúnio non sit mihi reátus ad pœnam, sed intercéssio salutáris ad véniam. Sit mihi armatúra fídei et scutum bonæ voluntátis. Sit vitiórum meórum evacuátio, concupiscéntiæ et libídinis exterminátio, caritátis et patiéntiæ, humilitátis et obœdiéntiæ, omniúmque virtútum augmentátio: contra insídias inimicórum ómnium, tam visibílium quam invisibílium, firma defénsio: mótuum meórum, tam carnálium quam spiritálium, perfécta quietátio: in te uno ac vero Deo firma adhǽsio; atque finis mei felix consummátio. Et precor te, ut ad illud ineffábile convívium me peccatórem perdúcere dignéris, ubi tu cum Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto Sanctis tuis es lux vera, satíetas plena, gáudium sempitérnum, jucúnditas consummáta et felícitas perfécta. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Oratio S. Bonaventuræ
Transfíge, dulcíssime Dómine Jesu, medúllas et víscera ánimæ meæ suavíssimo ac salubérrimo amóris tui vúlnere, vera serenáque et apostólica sanctíssima caritáte, ut lángueat et liquefíat ánima mea solo semper amóre et desidério tui; te concupíscat et defíciat in átria tua, cúpiat dissólvi et esse tecum. Da, ut ánima mea te esúriat, panem Angelórum, refectiónem animárum sanctárum, panem nostrum cotidiánum, supersubstantiálem, habéntem omnem dulcédinem et sapórem et omne delectaméntum suavitátis. Te, in quem desíderant Angeli prospícere, semper esúriat et comédat cor meum, et dulcédine sapóris tui repleántur víscera ánimæ meæ; te semper sítiat fontem vitæ, fontem sapiéntiæ et sciéntiæ, fontem ætérni lúminis, torréntem voluptátis, ubertátem domus Dei. Te semper ámbiat, te quærat, te invéniat, ad te tendat, ad te pervéniat, te meditétur, te loquátur, et ómnia operétur in laudem et glóriam nóminis tui, cum humilitáte et discretióne, cum dilectióne et delectatióne, cum facilitáte et afféctu, cum perseverántia usque in finem; ut tu sis solus semper spes mea, tota fidúcia mea, divítiæ meæ, delectátio mea, jucúnditas mea, gáudium meum, quies et tranquíllitas mea, pax mea, suávitas mea, odor meus, dulcédo mea, cibus meus, reféctio mea, refúgium meum, auxílium meum, sapiéntia mea, portio mea, posséssio mea, thesáurus meus, in quo fixa et firma et immobíliter semper sit radicáta mens mea et cor meum. Amen.
Rhythmus S. Thomæ Aquinatis
Indulgentia 100 dierum semel in die Leo PP. XIII, 20 Dec. 1884
Adóro te devóte, latens Déitas,
Quæ sub his figúris vere látitas:
Tibi se cor meum totum súbjicit,
Quia, te contémplans, totum déficit.
Visus, tactus, gustus in te fállitur,
Sed audítu solo tuto créditur:
Credo, quidquid dixit Dei Fílius,
Nil hoc verbo Veritátis vérius.
In Cruce latébat sola Déitas,
At hic latet simul et humánitas;
Ambo tamen credens atque cónfitens,
Peto, quod petívit latro pænitens.
Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intúeor,
Deum tamen meum te confíteor:
Fac me tibi semper magis crédere,
In te spem habére, te dilígere.
O memoriále mortis Dómini,
Panis vivus, vitam præstans hómini,
Præsta meæ menti de te vívere,
Et te illi semper dulce sápere.
Pie pellicáne, Jesu Dómine,
Me immúndum munda tuo Sánguine,
Cujus una stilla salvum fácere
Totum mundum quit ab omni scélere.
Jesu, quem velátum nunc aspício,
Oro, fiat illud, quod tam sítio:
Ut, te reveláta cernens fácie,
Visu sim beátus tuæ glóriæ.
Amen.

Let us pray.
O God, who didst mitigate the flames of fire for the three children: mercifully grant; that the flame of vices may not consume us thy servants. Prevent our actions, we beseech thee, O Lord, by thy inspiration, and further them by thy help: that every prayer and work of ours may always begin from thee, and, being begun through thee, may be ended.
Grant us, we beseech thee, O Lord, to extinguish the flames of our vices: who didst grant blessed Laurence to overcome the burnings of his torments. Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
FOR THE OCCASION OF THE PRIEST
Prayer of Saint Thomas Aquinas
I give thee thanks, O holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God, who hast deigned to satisfy me, a sinner, thine unworthy servant, through no merits of mine, but by the sole condescension of thy mercy, with the precious Body and Blood of thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. And I pray that this holy communion may not be unto me guilt unto punishment, but a saving intercession unto pardon. Let it be unto me the armour of faith and the shield of good will. Let it be the emptying out of my vices, the extermination of concupiscence and lust, the increase of charity and patience, humility and obedience, and of all virtues: a firm defence against the snares of all enemies, both visible and invisible: the perfect quieting of my motions, both carnal and spiritual: a firm cleaving unto thee, the one and true God; and a happy consummation of my end. And I pray thee, that thou wouldst deign to bring me, a sinner, to that ineffable banquet, where thou, with thy Son and the Holy Ghost, art to thy Saints true light, full satiety, everlasting joy, consummate delight, and perfect happiness. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer of Saint Bonaventure
Pierce through, O sweetest Lord Jesus, the marrow and inward parts of my soul with the most sweet and most wholesome wound of thy love, with true, serene, apostolic, most holy charity, that my soul may languish and melt away ever solely with love and desire of thee; may it long for thee and faint in thy courts, desire to be dissolved and to be with thee. Grant that my soul may hunger after thee, the bread of Angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily bread, supersubstantial, having all sweetness and savour and every delight of sweetness. May my heart ever hunger after and eat thee, upon whom the Angels desire to look, and may the inward parts of my soul be filled with the sweetness of thy savour; may it ever thirst after thee, fountain of life, fountain of wisdom and knowledge, fountain of eternal light, torrent of pleasure, abundance of the house of God. May it ever compass thee, seek thee, find thee, tend unto thee, come unto thee, meditate upon thee, speak of thee, and work all things unto the praise and glory of thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, with perseverance unto the end; that thou alone mayest ever be my hope, all my confidence, my riches, my delight, my gladness, my joy, my rest and tranquillity, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my savour, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession, my treasure, in whom my mind and my heart may ever be fixed and firm and immovably rooted. Amen.
Rhythm of Saint Thomas Aquinas
Indulgence of 100 days once a day Leo PP. XIII, 20 December 1884
I devoutly adore thee, hidden Deity,
who truly liest hidden under these figures:
to thee my whole heart subjecteth itself,
because, contemplating thee, it wholly faileth.
Sight, touch, taste are deceived in thee,
but by hearing alone it is safely believed:
I believe whatever the Son of God hath said,
nothing is truer than this word of Truth.
On the Cross the Godhead alone lay hidden,
but here the Manhood also lieth hidden;
yet believing and confessing both,
I ask what the penitent thief asked.
I behold not the wounds, as Thomas did,
nevertheless I confess thee my God:
make me ever more to believe in thee,
to have hope in thee, to love thee.
O memorial of the death of the Lord,
living Bread, giving life to man,
grant my mind to live from thee,
and ever sweetly to taste thee.
Loving Pelican, Lord Jesus,
cleanse me, unclean, with thy Blood,
of which one drop is able to save
the whole world from every sin.
Jesus, whom now I behold veiled,
I pray, let that be done for which I so thirst:
that, beholding thee with unveiled face,
I may be blessed by the sight of thy glory.
Amen.
