Novena to St Dominic – Day 7: St Dominic a man of encouragement

“When your words came, I devoured them, your Word was my delight and the joy of my heart” (Jr.15:16).
How aptly this Scripture text from the prophet Jeremiah can be applied to Our Holy Father Dominic – we can just see him in our mind’s eye, contemplating from the depth of his heart with great joy and exultation, this Scripture jewel, overwhelmed as he always was, with an immense love of Holy Scripture.
