Through his holy grace, Christ has raised up saints in the Order of Our Father Dominic throughout the world.  We ask to be aided by their merits and to be commended to God by their prayers.

Each year, just a few days after the Church Universal honors all of the glorified in heaven, the Order of Preachers celebrates a feast in honor of all the saints and blesseds who wore the habit of St. Dominic. As their brothers and sisters in religion, we Dominicans again place ourselves under their heavenly patronage and protection.  Join us in praying to the Dominican saints for the preservation and growth of the Order.

O God, fountain of all holiness,
you deigned to enrich your Church with the many gifts of the saints of the Order of Preachers.
Grant that we, who venerate them in this celebration on earth,
may follow in their footsteps and join the in the eternal festival of heaven.

We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
