Full Latin Text of St. Francis Borgia's Litany of the Summa Theologiae

Monday, March 27, 2017 5:17

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

I was pleasantly surprised by the great interest aroused by St. Francis Borgia’s Litany of the Summa Theologiae, a segment of which I posted on the eve of the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas. So many readers contacted me to ask (a) if an English translation had been done or could be done, and (b) if the original Latin text could be made available in full. In answer to (a), to my knowledge no one has ever translated this text. However, as to (b), I am glad to offer the text to NLM readers at the link below, and I strongly encourage any enterprising Latinist out there to render it into English. If you do so, please let me know; I’d be happy to discuss ways to make it available to a wider readership.

The title of the book is

Studi Tomistici 22

S. Francisci Borgiae, S.I.

Praecipuae Divi Thomae Aquinatis materiae in litaniarum rationem redactae

denuo editae a B. de Margerie, S.I.

Pontificia Accamedia di S. Tommaso

Libreria Editrice Vaticana

1983

The book is comprised of several litanies that follow certain thematic areas in the text of St. Thomas. Their intellectual and devotional value is considerable. I have been told by a Benedictine monk that Borgia used the Summa for lectio divina, which, I must say (as a Thomist and as a Benedictine oblate) is an impressive feat.

The Litany of the Divine Attributes

The Litany of the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity in general, and of each of the Three Divine Person in particular

The Litany of the Holy Angels

The Litany of the Mystery of the Incarnation, and the union of the Divine Nature with the Human

The Litany of the Virtues and Graces which adorned the Incarnate Word

The Litany of the Annunciation and Conception of the Eternal Word

The Litany of the Mysteries of the Life of Christ, beginning with His Baptism

The Litany of the Lord’s Passion

The Litany of Our Lord’s Resurrection

The Litany of the Glorious Ascension of Our Lord

The Litany of the Most Adorable Mystery of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar

The Litany of Thanksgiving for the endowments of the created Soul

The Litany of the Benefits conferred on the Soul by the infusion of the moral, cardinal, and theological virtues

The Litany of the Soul in its glorified and beatified state.
