Naomh Tomás Aquinas: Rugadh Naomh Tomás Aquinas in Aquino san Iodáil i 1226. Nuair a bhí sé cúig bliana d’aois cuireadh é faoi chúram na Beinidictigh i Monte Cassino. Bhí ionadh ar a mhúinteoirí faoin ndul chun chinn a dhein sé. Ag aois a 17 chuaigh sé isteach san Ord Doiminiceach i Naples i gcoinne toil a chlainne. Bhí sé chomh dílis do Dhia gur tugadh an teideal “An Doctúir Ainglí” air. Chaith sé roinnt blianta ag staidéar i Cologne faoi Naomh Albert.
Tugadh an leasainm “an Damh Balbh” dó toisc gur duine ciúin machnamhach ab ea é. Ag aois a 32 agus é ina shagart fuair sé dochtúireacht sa dhiagacht. D’ofráil an Pápa Clement IV an tArdeaspacht dó ach níor ghlac sé leis mar níor theastaigh an iomad aitheantais uaidh. Scríobh sé ana chuid leabhair dhíaga agus é an “Summa Theologica” a príomhshaothar. Ta ana-mheas ag an Eaglais Caitliceach air mar eiseamláir mhúinteora go háirithe ó thaobh oideachas sagart do.
Fuair Naomh Tomás Aquinas bás i Fossa Nuova i 1274. Fógraíodh mar naomh é i 1323 agus mar dhochtúir na hEaglaise chomh mhaith. Tá lá fhéile Naomh Tomás Aquinas ar an 28ú Eanáir. Tá sé mar Naomh phátrún d’ollscoileanna agus do mhic léinn. Roghnaigh mé an naomh seo mar b’é Tomás ainm mo sheanathair a fuair bás ceithre bhliain ó shin.

Prayer for Fine Weather
All powerful and ever living God,
We find security in your forgiveness;
Give us the fine weather we pray for so
That we may rejoice in your gifts of kindness
And use them always for your
Glory and our good.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Paidreacha don Spiorad Naomh
Spiorad Dé sna spéartha.

Spiorad Dé ar na sléibhte.
Spiorad Dé ionainn.
Spiorad Dé i solas na gréine.
Spiorad Dé san aer.
Spiorad Dé thart timpeall orainn.
Spiorad Dé i ngach áit.
A Spiorad Naoimh, Spiorad Dé, cabhraigh linn. Amen

Please avoid these seats until the roof has been repaired.

Prayer for an Engaged Couple
May our love increasingly be a sign of
Christ’s love for the Church.
Let our daily nurturing of our
relationship use the Mass as a model.

Let us each day humbly acknowledge
our faults and ask for forgiveness for
any hurts we have caused the other.
May we take any opportunity for
praising and affirming the talents and
efforts of the other.
May we offer out time, understanding
and active, empathetic listening even
when we judge that we have heard
before what we are hearing now.
May we pray with and for each other
in whatever ways we can.

May we try to build a solid
foundation of openness and trust
based upon similar values.

May we celebrate our coming vows
and put the stress on our relationship
building not on the wedding day
details that will soon pale in importance.

May we treat each other with a sacred
trust that seeks to build up.
Help us believe that God sends us
forth as a couple to become an ever
clearer channel of his love.
Don’t let us neglect to give each other
a kiss of peace often!
May we go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
