Prayer to Saint Dominic
O Saint Dominic, glorious preacher,
Afire with the truth of life,
Pray for us, and for our school,
Saint Dominic Academy.
May our prayer draw us close to Christ,
Our study to his wisdom,
Our community fill us with his peace,
And our service prove his love.
United by the Spirit with you and all the saints,
May everything we do bring glory to God,
Honor to Our Lady,
And blessing to our world,
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
