Our holy father Dominic is referred to as “Lumen Ecclesiae” (“Light of the Church”). The “O Lumen,” a hymn to Saint Dominic, is sung nightly in the Dominican communities throughout the world. It is prayed in procession at the end of evening prayers. In this novena it is an honor for us to pray for your father! Shrine of Saint Jude St. Dominic’s Church, Washington, D.C. Photo by Fr.
