O Victorious Lord, Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order, worked hard to rescue people from the heresies in which they trusted, because he felt great pity for them. When they failed to accept the truth, he grew discouraged, but the Blessed Mother appeared to him in a vision. She showed him a garland of roses, asked him to pray the Rosary daily, and directed him to teach this prayer to others. Through the Rosary, the heresies were conquered. I ask him to pray with her now for the victories I need over the problems in my life. Saint Dominic, join me whenever I pray the Rosary and carry my prayers to Heaven. Amen.
