A Novena to St. Dominic for the Discerning Heart
Day 4– Guiding Charity
A teaching from St. Dominic:
“Charity, above all things, must guide our actions.”
St. Dominic, known for his compassionate approach, founded the Dominican Order with a focus on preaching and charitable works. This highlights charity as the highest guiding principle, aligning with the Catholic call to love and compassion in our actions. This reflection encourages us to prioritize the well-being of others in a world often driven by competition and self-interest.
“Charity, above all things, must guide our actions.”
How can you prioritize charity and kindness in your daily interactions?
You can prioritize charity by engaging in acts of kindness, offering help to those in need, participating in charitable works, and fostering a spirit of generosity and compassion in all your interactions.
“Charity, above all things, must guide our actions.”
The Dominican Blessing, from an anonymous 13th-century English Dominican, captures St. Dominic’s timeless call for blessings, healing, and divine guidance.
May God the Father, who made us, bless us.
May God the Son, who redeemed us, send healing into our midst.
May God the Holy Spirit, who gives us life, move within us.
May God give us eyes to see to God, ears to hear God, and hands to bring God’s work into the world.
May we walk with God and preach the word of God to all.
May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us at last by God’s grace to the eternal Kingdom.
Amen
