The Lord hath raised up the needy from the earth, and hath placed them among princes; making Dominic, in his heavenly home, a joyful father of children.

Let us pray.
O God, who hast vouchsafed to make the Order of Preachers fruitful in an abundant progeny of Saints, and hast gloriously crowned in them the merits of all heroic virtues; grant unto us to follow their footsteps, that we may at last be united in perpetual festivity with those in heaven, whom we venerate today under one celebration upon earth. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
