“To praise, to bless, to preach”
— the motto of the Dominican Order founded by St. Dominic.
In elementary school I was taught by Dominican sisters and I am thankful today for the faith foundation that I have that came through their ministry.
In honor of St. Dominic, today, on his feast day, I pray one of his own prayers:
May God the Father who made us bless us.
May God the Son send his healing among us.
May God the Holy Spirit move within us and
give us eyes to see with,
ears to hear with,
and hands that your work might be done.
May we walk and preach the word of God to all.
May the angel of peace watch over us and
lead us at last by God’s grace to the Kingdom.
Amen.
