Traditionally, on the old calendar, today, August 4th, is the Feast of St. Dominic. Now, however, we celebrate St. Dominic's Feast on August 8th.
One time, when I was a Postulant, I came across a book of chaplets. Inside was a Dominican Chaplet. I have never been able to find out any information regarding its origin, or even where to purchase one. In fact, no one seems to know anything about it. I even wrote to the book's publisher, and received no response. Hence, I concluded that the authors made this chaplet up.
Even so, I like it. The accompanying picture of chaplets, on the left, obviously are not to what I'm referring. The Dominican Chaplet consists of 15 beads:
A Crucifix, then one white bead for the intentions of the Holy Father. Then a scapular medallion, followed by:
5 blue beads for the Joys of Jesus and Mary,
5 black beads for the Sorrows of Jesus and Mary,
5 gold beads for the Glories of Jesus and Mary,
then you'll be back to the white bead. This time say a prayer for the intentions of the Master General.
Amen
