"Tertio, hoc competit perfectioni fidei, quae, sicut est de divinitate Christi, ita est de eius humanitate, secundum illud Ioan. XIV, creditis in Deum, et in me credite. Et quia fides est invisibilium, sicut divinitatem suam nobis exhibet Christus invisibiliter, ita et in hoc sacramento carnem suam nobis exhibet invisibili modo."
St. Thomas Aquinas, ST III.75.1.Resp., trans. FEDP. Latin from Corpus Thomisticum.
On the cross was veiled thy Godhead's splendor,
Here thy manhood lieth hidden, too;
Unto both alike my faith I render. . . .
In cruce latebat sola deitas,
Sed hic latet simul et humanitas.
Ambo uere credens atque confitens. . . .
St. Thomas Aquinas, "Adoro te deuote" ("Te deuote laudo"). That stuff about merit I've taken from a couple of online lectures by Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., who does not there make the connection to the "Adoro te deuote" ("Te deuote laudo").
