O wondrous hope, that you did give at the hour of death to those who mourned you, when you did promise to help them even after death. Father, keep your word, and aid us by your prayers. You who did shine by so many signs in the bodies of the afflicted, bear us the help of Christ and heal our souls in their illness and unrest.

Let us pray. O God, Who did vouchsafe to enlighten Your Church by the merits and teachings of blessed Dominic, Your confessor and our father, grant through his intercession that it may never be destitute of temporal help, and may always increase in spiritual growth. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Remember, O our beloved Father, your promise to plead powerfully in Heaven for your children and for all those who invoke you. This sweet hope reanimates our confidence, and in all our needs we have recourse to you. O beloved son of Jesus and favorite of Mary, sinners though we are, to your heart we address our prayers. Despise not this our humble supplication, but be truly Dominic to us during these days of trial and exile. Obtain for us the singular favor of following in your footsteps, of imitating your virtues, and of winning souls to our dearest Lord Jesus, so that like you we may surely reach our heavenly home and share there in your glory. Amen. 

Wonderful Saintly Founder of the eloquent Order of Preachers and friend of Saint 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 was 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 necessities. On earth you opened your heart to the miseries of your fellow men and your hands were strong to help them; now in heaven your charity has not grown less n or 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. Amen.

God of Truth you gave your church a new light in the life and preaching of our Father Dominic. Give us the help we need to support our preaching by holy and simple lives. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
