Blessed Jordan of Saxony,
worthy successor of St. Dominic,
in the early days of the Order,
your example and zeal prompted many men and women
to follow Christ in the white habit of Our Holy Father.
As patron of Dominican vocations,
continue to stimulate talented and devoted men and women
to consecrate their lives to God.
Through your intercession,
lead to the Order of Preachers
generous and sacrificing persons,
willing to give themselves fervently
to the apostolate of Truth.
Help them to prepare themselves
to be worthy of the grace of a Dominican vocation.
Inspire their hearts to become learned of God,
that with firm determination
they might aspire to be champions of the Faith
and true lights of the world.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
