Quote of the Day –29 April – St Peter Martyr / of Verona OP (1205–1252) Martyr, Priest
Saint Thomas Aquinas, Dominican, in Eulogy
for Saint Peter Martyr, Dominican
Here silent is Christ’s Herald;
Here quenched, the People’s Light;
Here lies the Martyred Champion
Who fought Faith’s holy fight.
The voice the sheep heard gladly,
The light they loved to see
He fell beneath the weapons
Of graceless Cathari.
The Saviour crowns His Soldier;
His praise the people psalm.
The Faith he kept adorns him
With Martyr’s fadeless palm.
His praise new marvels utter,
New light he spreads abroad
And now the whole wide city
Knows well the path to God.
St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Doctor of the Church
