R. May still be pleasing unto Thee.

R. O Lord, make haste to help me.

Hymn

Mundum calcans

He trod the world beneath his feet,

Forward to strenuous toil he pressed,

And stripped himself the foe to meet,

By Christ’s strong grace upheld and

blessed.

He still fights on with ceaseless prayer,

With tears, and words, and signs of

power;

And sends his children forth to bear

The glorious war from shore to shore.

To God, the Three and One, be praise,

And honor, strength and glory given;

And may He deign our souls to raise

Through our sweet father’s prayers to

heaven.

From Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord: How marvellous is Thy Name through all the earth, For Thy great might is exalted Even above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise, because of Thine enemies, That Thou mayest destroy the enemy and the avenger. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Anthem

Corpus sanctum

His sacred body as a shrine And treasure-house of sweets divine Breathes richer fragrance to the gale Than all earth’s spicy stores exhale.

Let us pray

O God, who didst vouchsafe to enlighten Thy Church by the merits and teaching of our blessed father Dominic, Thy confessor, grant that through his intercession we may be provided against all temporal necessities, and ever increase in spiritual good. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
