Opening Prayer
Lord, St. Dominic loved with great integrity and conviction. He preached the truth and power of Your love. He taught self-denial to be more open to You. Our Scriptures challenge us to remember all that You have done for us – how You chose and choose us to be Your people – to believe in Your outstretched arm and ever-saving presence. Help us to preach the Good News of Your unconditional love by our lives, attitudes and behaviors. Empower us with the humility and discipline to follow Jesus, by taking up our daily crosses – by denying ourselves for you and others. Free us of addictions by which we try to fill ourselves. Inspire us with faith to know that You will fill our emptiness. Be our faithful and nurturing God. Bless the Dominicans with passion and vocations as they preach Your truth.
