Blessed Jordan of Saxony before the Magistrates of Bologna
"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."
Today, 13 February, is the feast of the Second Master General of the Order of Preachers, Bl. Jordan of Saxony.
This fresco in the nave of San Domenico in Bologna shows the saint with the magistrates of that city.
