Feast of St. Albertus Magnus
St. Albertus Magnus was one of the Church's greatest intellects. Teacher to St. Thomas Aquinas, he was renowned for an experise in biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, geography, metaphysics, mathematics, biblical studies, and theology. Now that's well rounded!
Collect:
God Our Father,
you endowed St. Albert with the talent
of combining human wisdom with divine faith.
Keep us true to his teachings
that the advance of human knowledge
may deepen our knowledge and love of you.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
