  • Saint Dominic Savio
    Saint Dominic Savio Dominic Savio is one of the few teenage saints in the history of the Church. He was born in 1842 in the village of Riva in northern Italy. He was the eldest child of Charles and Brigid Savio who were poor and hard working people. At the age of 8 Dominic walked ten kilometres each day to the school in the neighbouring village. There he became an excellent student who always tried hard in his lessons. At the age of 12 he commenced at Don Bosco's school, The Oratory of St Francis de Sales in Turin. He made many friends due to his cheerfulness and willingness to be part of every activity. Dominic was a gifted student leader. At school he would actively look out for those who were lonely and befriend them. When a new student arrived he would be the first to greet them. He would encourage them to be a good Christian, saying that it is "not a matter of doing extraordinary things but of doing ordinary things extraordinarily well." Dominic loved God. He had a strong faith and was actively involved in community service. He was a constant visitor to the school hospital where he would cheer up those who were sick. He and his friends would go into Turin to assist those who were old or ill. Dominic was not a physically strong boy and had bad health. His teachers and friends admired the way he never complained about his sickness. He died at the age of 15. Dominic's life is a great example to young people through his effort at school, his loyalty as a friend, his qualities as a student leader, his service to others and his love of God.

  • Gaudeamus-CD-Bookletfinal.Pdf
    Gaudeamus Celebrating 800 Years of Dominican Life 2016 is an important year for the Dominican Order: we turn eight hundred years old! In this jubilee year, Do- minicans everywhere are celebrating the role that the order has played in the world, in the Church, and in each of our lives. In the Province of Saint Joseph, our schola cantorum at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., has produced an album of sacred music to celebrate this special anniversary. Spanning from medieval times all the way to the present day, the music of Gaudeamus, Latin for “let us rejoice,” highlights various themes of our Dominican life. We begin with the source and summit of the Christian life, the Eucharist, by singing multiple musical settings of a prayer composed by Saint Thomas Aquinas, a great theologian of the Church and an early Dominican friar: “O sacred banquet, in which Christ is received.” Next, we honor three saints who have a special place in our life: the Blessed Virgin Mary, the patroness of the order and of our house; Saint Joseph, the patron of our province; and Holy Father Dominic, our founder. Saint Dominic founded our order to preach for the salvation of souls, so the next group of selections highlights this special mission of preaching: “Proclaim the greatness of the Lord, you preachers of his grace!” Then, we celebrate the saints in general, all those who “follow the Lamb wherever he goes.” We conclude the album in the same way that we conclude each day in our convents, by praying for the deceased: “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.” Five of the tracks on Gaudeamus are original compositions by some of our friars here at the House of Studies, and two more of the tracks are original texts by our friars and include musical arrangements by them as well.

  • Pascual Chavez
    Giornate di Spiritualità della Famiglia Salesiana 16 - 19 gennaio 2014 Pastoral Charity Core and synthesis of Salesian spiritualiy Fr Pascual Chávez Villanueva Rector Mejor Previously we have seen how the ”type” of spiritual person Don Bosco was: profoundly human and totally open to God; in harmony between these two dimension he lived out a plan of life that he had taken up with determination: at the service of the young. As Don Rua says: “He took no step, he said no word, he took up no task that was not directed to the saving of the young.”[14] If one examines his plan for the young one sees that it had a “heart,”, an element that gave it meaning, originality: “Truly the only concern of his heart was for souls”.[15] There is therefore a further practical explanation for the unity of his life: through his dedication to young people Don Bosco wanted to give them an experience of God. On his part this was not just generosity or philantropy but pastoral charity. This is called the “core and synthesis” of the Salesian spirit.[16] “Core and synthesis” is a telling and demanding affirmation. It is easier to list the various features, even the basic ones of our spirituality, without committing ourselves to any sort of hierarchical relationship, which would choose one as being the principal one. In this case it is necesary to enter into the spirit of Don Bosco or of the Salesian in order to discover the explanation for his way of doing things. To understand what is involved in pastoral charity we take three steps: we look first at charity, then at the specification “pastoral”, and finally at the ‘Salesian’ characteristics of pastoral charity.

  • Saint Dominic Fun Pack
    Saint Dominic Saint Dominic was born in Spain in 1170. He studied and became a cannon, or ecclesiastical person who served a particular chapter or group. He spent much of his life preaching against the Albigensians (a group of Christians who were not following Catholic church teachings, or heresy). During his time there were many crusades against them in Europe, in which Saint Dominic assisted. In 1215 he founded the Order of Preachers, known as the Dominican Order, for which he is best known. It was a new type of organization, that combined the dedication to faith and education, but with more flexibility than a monastery. In a time when monks and friars were leading solidary lives in a monastery, the Dominican Order spent their time out among the people preaching. He spent the rest of his life traveling around Italy, Spain and France preaching and converting people to the faith. He is often shown with a dog carrying a lighted torch. As the story goes, when his mother was pregnant with him, she had a dream that a dog leaped from her womb carrying a lighted torch, and setting the world on fire. Another explanation is that the dog is a pun based on the translation of the word ‘Dominican.’ It was split into Domini canes which translates to ‘hounds of the Lord.’ His feast day is August 8 and he is the patron saint of astronomers.

  • The Nine Ways of Prayer of St. Dominic Was Written by an Anonymous Author, Probably at Bologna, Sometime Between 1260 and 1288
    The Nine Ways of Prayer of Saint Dominic Text by Simon Tugwell, O.P. With appendix of abbreviated and modern translations From the manuscript of Bologna | 1260-88 e O SPEM MIRAM O wondrous hope that you did give at the hour of death to those who mourned you, when you did promise to help them even after death. Father, keep your word, and aid us by your prayers. You who did shine by so many signs in the bodies of the afflicted, bear us the help of Christ and heal our souls in illness and unrest. Father, keep your word, and aid us by your prayers. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Father, keep your word, and aid us by your prayers. Pray for us, blessed father, St. Dominic That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. e INTRODUCTION The Nine Ways of Prayer of St. Dominic was written by an anonymous author, probably at Bologna, sometime between 1260 and 1288. The source of his information was Sister Cecilia of the Monastery of St. Agnes at Bologna (who had been received to the habit by St. Dominic) and others who had been in contact with the Holy Founder. This venerable document testifies to the eminent holiness of the Saint, showing something of his intimate life and intense love of God. The early manuscripts of the work were accompanied by miniature drawings to illustrate the various postures St. Dominic took while he was at prayer. Those in a Spanish manuscript of the Vatican Library, Codex Rossianus 3, are by a skilled miniaturist and done in brilliant colors which are still vivid.
