 Prayer: 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.
