PRAYER TO ST. DOMINIC
Oh Blessed Father St. Dominic, holy priest of God, beloved Confessor, renowned preacher, man of the Lord’s own choosing: In your day you were pleasing and beloved of the Lord above all others-glorious in your life, teaching, and miracles. We rejoice to have you as our gracious advocate before the Lord God.
I cry to you from the depths of this vale of tears, because I venerate you, among all the saintly elect of God, with particular devotion. Merciful Father, help, I pray, my sinful soul, so destitute of all grace and virtue, so covered with the stains of many sins and vices.
After the Blessed Queen of virgins, you are my sweet hope and solace — before all other saints. You are my special refuge; bend favorably to help me. You are the one to whom I fly. You alone do I dare approach. I put myself at your feet, I invoke you as my patron, I implore and devoutly commend myself to you. I ask you, kindly and favorably receive, keep, protect, and help me. May I thereby merit receiving from God, through your intercession, the grace I desire, finding mercy, and salvation’s remedy now and hereafter.
Then come to me, I pray, and to all who call on you. Be truly for us the Lord’s Own as your name implies, the watchful keeper of His flock. Keep and rule us who are committed to your care at all times. Make our ways straight and reconcile us with God. Then, after this our exile, joyfully present us to the blessed Lord, God’s dearly loved Son and our Saviour Jesus Christ — whose honor, praise, glory, unutterable joy, and eternal happiness, together with that of the glorious Virgin Mary and the whole company of heaven’s citizens, endure without end, forever and ever. Amen.
St. Dominic, pray for us and for all who invoke your aid!
