Saint Dominic, Priest and Confessor, Founder of the Order of Preachers

Saint Dominic in prayer

Saint Dominic in prayer, by El Greco (1541–1614). From Wikipedia.

Almighty and everlasting God, who by the blessed Saint  Dominic didst gather together a great company of preachers: We beseech thee so to inspire the Church that she may teach and commend the Gospel of thy dear Son as well by sound learning as by simplicity of life; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

¶ Or this:

Almighty and everlasting God, we give thee thanks for the purity and strength with which thou didst endow thy servant Dominic; and we pray that by thy grace we may have a like power to hallow and conform our souls and bodies to the purpose of thy most holy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶ Or this:

O God of the prophets, who didst open the eyes of thy servant Dominic to perceive a famine of hearing the word of the Lord, and didst move him, and those he did draw about him, to satisfy that hunber with sound preaching and fervent devotion: Make they Church, dear Lord, in this and every age, attentive to the hungers of the world, and quick to respond in love to those who are perishing; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

¶ Or this:

Almighty God, Grant unto all thy people a hunger for thy Word and an urgent longing to share thy Gospel, that like thy servant Dominic we might labour to bring the whole world to the knowledge and love of thee as thou art revealed in thy Son Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
