29 APRIL 2014. Today we celebrate her Feast, our spiritual Mama: patroness of the Dominican laity.
eternal Godhead,
I shall come to know my
nature.
And what is my nature,
boundless love?
It is fire,
because you are nothing
but a fire of love.
And you have given
humankind
a share in this nature,
for by the fire of love
you created us.
And so with all other
people
and every created
thing;
you made them out of
love.
O ungrateful people!
What nature has your
God given you?
His very own nature!
Are you not ashamed to
cut yourself off from such a noble thing
through the guilt of
deadly sin?
O eternal Trinity,
my sweet love!
You, light,
give us light.
You, wisdom,
give us wisdom.
You, supreme strength,
strengthen us.
Today, eternal God,
let our cloud be
dissipated
so that we may
perfectly know and follow your Truth
in truth,
with a free and simple
heart.
God, come to our
assistance!
Lord, make haste to
help us!
Amen.
