8th August - Saint Dominic
A man who governs his passions is master of his world. We must either command them or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil - Saint Dominic.
Saint Dominic, your heart was moved with compassion for those who suffered. When you encountered those misled by heresy, you longed for their freedom and dedicated the rest of your life to their salvation. Please pray for us, that we will follow your example by recognizing those around us who need to be freed from error and sin, so that we can prayerfully be open for God to use us in any way He chooses.
