Wonderful Saintly
Founder of the eloquent Order of Preachers and friend of St.
Francis of Assisi, you were a fiery defender of the Faith and a
fighter against the darkness of heresy. You resembled a great
star that shone close to the world and pointed to the Light which
was Christ.
Help astronomers to study the stars and admire their wonderful
Maker,
proclaiming: "Give glory to God in the highest!" Amen.
O Holy Priest of God and glorious Patriarch, St. Dominic, thou who wast the friend, the well-beloved son and confidant of the Queen of Heaven, and didst work so many miracles by the power of the Holy Rosary, have regard for my intercessions.
On earth you opened your heart to the miseries of your fellow man, and your hands were strong to help them; now in heaven your charity has not grown less nor has your power waned.
Pray for me to the Mother of the Rosary and to her divine Son, for I have great confidence that through your assistance I shall obtain the favor I so much desire: (mention your intentions). Amen.
feast day: August 8
