"Dominique"

PEACE

So much has been written about Blessed Teresa of Calcutta or St. Theresa, whichever you prefer.  Therefore, I am building this tribute to her and St. Francis of Assisi whose peace prayer was recited by St. Theresa everyday.  May all of you find some peace in the information that I have gathered about these humanitarians and their great works.  Of course, I have added graphics and music by The Singing Nun.  Please enjoy what has been a pleasant journey for me.  If you take the branches I have built in to this journey, you will always return to this paragraph.  Again, please enjoy!  Learn about St. Francis by clicking here.  Learn about St. Theresa and her prayers by clicking here.  Learn more about St. Theresa by clicking here.

Dominique
 Lyrics from “The Singing Nun”
Sung by Debbie Reynolds


Dominique, nique, nique I will tell of Dominique
His goodness to acclaim
And I pray the song I sing
Will some simple pleasure bring
That the world shall know his name!

I will tell of Dominique as I sing this little song
And when I sing the chorus all the world will sing along!

Dominique, nique, nique it was good Saint Dominique
He lived for you and me
From his labors long ago
Came a better world I know! And his love shall always be!

“Though I’m poor”, said Dominique as he spoke unto the Lord,
“I will be your humble servent and your love is my reward”!

Dominique, nique, nique I will follow Dominique
His burdens will I share
For his courage will I pray
His teachings to obey! His words shall be my prayer!

By the kindness of his heart and the labor of his hand
He brought love and understanding as he wandered through the land!

Dominique, nique, nique I will tell of Dominique
His goodness to acclaim
And I pray the song I sing
Will some simple pleasure bring! All the world shall know his name!

Dominique the mighty warrior was a soldier of ther Lord
His armor was devotion and the Gospel was his sword!

Dominique, nique, nique it was good Saint Dominique
He lived for you and me
From his labors long ago
Came a better world I know! And his love shall always be!

Through the blazing heat of summer and the chill of winter snow
I will follow Dominique! In his footsteps I will go!
Dominique, nique, nique I will follow Dominique
His burdens will I share
For his courage will I pray
His teachings to obey! His words shall be my prayer!
