Novena Prayer to St. Dominic
(to be said for nine consecutive days)
O glorious Saint Dominic, thou who wast a model of mortification and purity, by punishing thy innocent body with scourges, with fastings and with watchings, and by keeping inviolate the lily of thy virginity, obtain for us the grace to practice penance with a generous heart and to keep unspotted the purity of our bodies and our hearts.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.O great Saint, who, inflamed with divine love, didst find thy delight in prayer and intimate union with God; obtain for us to be faithful in our daily prayers, to love our Lord ardently, and to observe His commandments with ever increasing fidelity.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.O glorious Saint Dominic, who, being filled with zeal for the salvation of souls, didst preach the Gospel in season and out of season and didst establish the Order of Friars Preachers to labor for the conversion of heretics and poor sinners, pray thou to God for us, that He may grant us to love all our brethren sincerely and to cooperate always, by our prayers and good works, in their sanctification and eternal salvation.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Hymn of St. Dominic
Thou who, hero-like, hast striven For the cause of God and heaven! Dominic, whose life was given Sinners to recall. Saint of high and dauntless spirit, By thy vast unmeasured merit, By thy name which we inherit, Hear us when we call.
Flower of chastity, the fairest Of her lily buds thou bearest, Snow-white as the robe thou wearest, Gift from hands divine. With thy brow of starry splendour, With thine eyes so mild and tender, Mary's client--truth's defender, To our prayers incline.
Great Apostle, ever claiming Souls for Jesus--by the naming Mary and her Son proclaiming Mysteries of faith; Still, O Dominic, the preaching Of those childlike beads is reaching Childlike hearts all sweetly teaching Christ's own life and death.
With those Aves, first and plainest Of the Church's prayers, thou rainest Blessings on the earth and gainest Souls whom Jesus made. Loving Father I at thy station Of seraphic contemplation, In each hour of dark temptation, Give thy saving aid.
