THIRD DAY ST. DOMINIC DE GUZMAN NOVENA IN HONOR OF
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You.
and I detest all my sins because I dread
the loss of heaven and the pains of hell,
but most of all because I offend You, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
PRAYER FOR EVERYDAY
O God who raised up the world through the passion,
death and resurrection of Your Son,
grant that we who are gathered today
in honor of St. Dominic, may humble ourselves,
renounce the things of this world
and die to the pomps and vanities of life.
Send us Your Holy Spirit that we may all be one in truth
and be one in love so that like St. Dominic,
Your faithful servant, we may be living witnesses
of Your goodness, truth and love
in a society "fragmented by divisive conflicts
and afflicted with widespread poverty."
Help us, St. Dominic, to seek always the glory of God,
to direct all our affections, desires and efforts
in proclaiming the kingdom of God through our words, deeds and lives.
Help us to inculturate the Gospel values as You did
and as the many other Dominican saints did during their times.
Be with us in our journey and always lead us to Jesus
who is our Truth, our Way and our Life. Amen.
Hebrews 5:7-10 READING & REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
O Blessed St. Dominic, whose apostolic zeal flowed from a life grounded in prayer and contemplation
obtain for us the grace to allow God’s Word to take root in us
that we may preach courageously in season and out of season.
Pray for us that in spite of the overwhelming busyness and clutteredness of our lives,
we may discover our own rhythm of prayer and find a home in God’s Word.
In silence we offer a prayer we wish to obtain through the prayers of St. Dominic. Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
FINAL PRAYER
O wonderful hope that you had given at the hour of your death
when you promised to be of more help to us after your death!
Father, keep your word and aid us by your prayers.
Leader: Your sanctity had shone through many signs in the bodies of the afflicted, bring to us the help of Christ and heal our souls in their illness and repining.
All: Father, keep your word and aid us by your prayers.
Leader: Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
All: Father, keep your word and aid us by your prayers.
Leader: Pray for us Blessed Father Dominic.
All: That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.
Lord, let the holiness and teachings of St. Dominic
come to the aid of Your Church.
May he help us now with his prayers
as he once inspired people by his preaching.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
