Prayer for the Memorial of St. Dominic

O glorious St. Dominic, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, you were a fiery preacher of the Gospel and a tireless defender of the truth. You taught the world the beauty of prayer, especially through the gift of the Holy Rosary. In your compassion, you cared for the poor and the lost, leading many hearts back to God’s loving embrace. Intercede for us today, dear St. Dominic. Help us to grow in faith and love, to speak the truth with courage and humility, and to live each day in joyful service of Christ. Guide us to be faithful witnesses of the Gospel, to bring light where there is darkness, and hope where there is despair. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
