The Psalter Saint

14 October 1060 was the holy death of Saint Dominic Loricatus, whom we could call "The Psalter Saint." He prayed the entire psalter every day and often various times in one day, while flagellating himself, doing penance to make up for corrupt clergy and all of the sins of the world.

I think about him especially now that I have taken up the 1962 breviary, which is more demanding than the reformed breviary. The previous breviary did the whole psalter every week while the new one does the entire psalter monthly (in four weeks). Saint Dominic said the whole psalter by dawn every day!

Saint Dominic Loricatus pray for the penitence of today's clergymen.
