Celebrating St. Dominic ! On August 8th, we celebrate a burning heart and a radical life! Dominic Guzman was born in 1170 to a Spanish noble family. From a young age, Dominic had a sense of Gospel values. A famine struck the country when Dominic was a university student. He sold his clothes, his furniture, and even his manuscripts to buy food for the poor. Dominic also attempted (twice!) to sell himself into slavery as barter for the freedom of others. He became a monk and was commissioned by the Pope to preach throughout southern France, where false Christian teachings had taken root. He founded a house for authentic Catholic education, which would become the first location of his new order the Order of Preachers, now known by the title Dominicans. Dominic and his followers traveled throughout Europe preaching, teaching, and calling people back to a life of conversion, prayer, and virtue. St. Dominic, pray for us! ! AɅȷɅɃɄ 4, 2019 !
