whose servant Dominic grew in the knowledge of Your truth
and formed an order of preachers to proclaim the faith of Christ;
by Your grace give to all Your people a love for Your word
and a longing to share the gospel,
so that the whole world may come to know You
and Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
Today we celebrate the feast of St. Dominic, the patron saint of preachers and the founder of the Order of Preachers, the Dominican Order.
This man was a Spanish monk with a call of God to raise to up a new generation of preachers dedicated to proclaiming the Word of God to the world.
Let us, with St. Dominic as our example, continue as a church to raise up young preachers who are saturated with the Word of God. Let us summon by prayer young preachers into existence who are led by the Spirit of Christ, and live in awe of the God we serve.
Let them be raised up in our Holy Church, that we may be lifted up to the throne of the Father, through the work of Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit!
Amen!
