Dear
Saint Dominic, you spent your short life totally for love of Jesus and His
Mother. Help youth today to realize the importance of God in their lives. You
became a saint through fervent participation in the sacraments. Enlighten
parents and children to the importance of frequent confession and Holy
Communion. At a young age you meditated on the sorrowful Passion of Our Lord.
Obtain for us the grace of a fervent desire to suffer for love of Him.
We desperately need your intercession to protect today's children from the
snares of the world. Watch over them and lead them on the narrow road to Heaven.
Ask God to give us the grace to sanctify our daily duties by performing them
perfectly out of love for Him. Remind us of the necessity of practicing virtue
especially in times of trial.
Saint Dominic Savio, you who preserved your Baptismal innocence of heart, pray
for us.
