Prayers for academia day 7

(Blogging a novena is somewhat undermined by not being in front of a computer at the weekend. Well, I dare say you'd got the idea by now...)

Deus, qui Praedicatorum ordinem copiosa Sanctorum sobole fecundare dignatus es, atque in ipsis heroica omnium virtutum merita sublimiter coronasti, da nobis illorum sequi vestigia: ut, quos hodie sub una celebritate veneramur in terris, iis perpetua tandem festivitate associemur in caelis. Per Dominum...
O God, fountain of all holiness, you were pleased to enrich your Church with the varied gifts of the saints of the order of Preachers. May we, who honour them in this earthly celebration, follow in their footsteps and so join them at last in the eternal festival of heaven. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Deus qui beatum Albertum Pontificum tuum atque Doctorem in humana sapientia divinae fidei subiicienda magnum effecisti: da nobis, quaesumus, ita eius magisterii inhaerere vestigiis ut luce perfecta fruamur in caelis. Per Dominum...
(O God, who made blessed Albert, your bishop and doctor, great in human wisdom made subject to divine faith: grant us, we beseech you, so to follow in the path of his teaching that we may enjoy perfect light in heaven. Through Our Lord...)
