ST. THOMAS AQUINAS Patron of Sclaoolr St. Thomas was once confined in a tower of the castle of Rocca-Secca. His brothers endeavored to entrap him into sin, but the attempt only ended in the triumph of his purity. Snatching from the hearth a burning brand, the Saint drove from his chamber the wretched creature whom they had there concealed. Then marking a cross upon the wall, he knelt down to pray, and forthwith, being rapt in ecstacy, an angel girded him with a cord, in token of the gift of perpetual chastity which God had given him. The pain caused by the girdle was so sharp that St. Thomas uttered a piercing cry, which brought his guards into the room. Hence originated the Confraternity of the Angelic Warfare for the preservation of the virtue of chastity. Students of St. Agnes are devoted to their patron, St. Thomas Aquinas and frequently consecrate their studies to God in the time-honored prayer: O glorious St. Thomas, Patron of Schools, obtain for us from God, a iirm faith, sincere charity, chastity and constant growth in true knowledge through Christ, Our Lord, Amen. 33
