Dominic, Preacher, Friar 1221


O God of the prophets, who opened the eyes of your servant Dominic to perceive a famine of hearing the word of the Lord, and moved him, and those he drew about him, to satisfy that hunger with sound preaching and fervent devotion: Make your Church, dear Lord, in this and every age, attentive to the hungers of the world, and quick to respond in love to those who are perishing; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
(Lesser Feasts and Fasts)

4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
   he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
   who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will never be moved;
   he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not afraid of bad news;
   his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
   until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
   his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.
Psalm 98 – English Standard Version
