SaintDominicFoundedOrders

OnAugust4,theChurch eriebratesthefeastdayof StDominic,theapostleof tiruth,andfounderofthe DominicanOrder.

WhowasSt.Dominic?

BorninSpainintheyear 1170,Dominicwasofnoble birthbeingoftheHouseof Guzmanandrelatedtosome altheRoyalfamiliesof Europe.Beforehisbirth,his mother,LadyJaneofAza issaidtohavehadapremonitionthathersonwas 110becomeagreatsaintand wastoaccomplishmuch goodintheworld.

CharitableStudent

Asaboy,Dominicwas serious,andintenselypious andhisearlyyearswere veryhappyones.Attheage offourteenhelefthometo continuehiseducationat ateofthebestschoolsin Spain,wherehesoonbecame knownforhisloveofstudy Andhiskindnesstohisfellowstudents.Hehadgreat loveforthepoorandduring eineoftheplaguesthat sweptthroughthecity,he soldhispreciousbooksin ordertousethemoneyfor thereliefofthesick.This vasatremendoussacrifice krayoungstudent,sincein thosedays,allbookswere writtenbyhand,andwere exceedinglydifficultto procure.

Dominicwasordained priestwhilestillveryyoung andfortenyearslivedin theCathedralofOsma,as oneofitscanons.Atthe

ToTeachTruth

endofthistime,hewas askedtoaccompanyhis BishoponadiplomaticmissiontoDenmark.Thisjourneybroughthimthrough SouthernFrance,anditwas herethatDominicfirstcame intocontactwiththeAlbigensianheresy,whichwas atitsheightinthiscorner ofEurope.

AmbitiousPlans

Hewashorrifiedatthe terribleconsequencesofthis heresy,andanincident whichoccurredprovedtobe thedirectiveinspirationof Dominic'slife.

Arrivingat aninnatToulouse,Dominic discoveredthathishostwas anAlbigensianandheenteredintodiscussionwith theman.Wearetoldthat theyarguedallthroughthe nightandinthemorning Dominichadconvincedthe inn-keeperofhiserrorsand themanreturnedtothe CatholicFaith.

Fromthistime,Dominic cherishedtheideaofinstitutingapreachingOrder, whichwastobedevotedto thespreadingofthetruth. HisOrderwasnottobe confinedtoonediocese,or eventoonecountry,but wastoextendoverthe wholeworld,whereverthere weresoulstobewonfor God.

Itisdifficultforusto realizethemagnitudeof hisplan.Accustomedaswe aretospeedymeansof communication,weforget thattheEuropeof800years agowasvastlydifferent fromourown.Itwasa bravemanindeedwho dreamedofabandofpriests whocouldpreachtothe peopleofeverynation.But Dominicwasmorethana dreamer-hewasamanof actionandofincredible courage,andhistrustin Godwasfirmandunshakcable.

Dominicrealizedthat errorcouldonlybecounteractedbyaclearanddefiniteknowledgeofthe truth.Then,asnow,the fallingawayfromthe Churchoftheordinaryindividualwascaused,notso muchbydeliberatemalice asbyignorance.Theeducationofthepeopleinthe

realizedhisambitionsfor hisFriarPreachers.While preachinginToulouse,with onlysixfollowers,Dominic wasvisitedonedaybyfive womenwhohaduptillthis timebeenfirmbelieversin thedoctrinesoftheAlbigensians.Theyhadheardhim explainingthetruefaithat arecentopenairsermon andcamenowtobereceivedbackintotheChurch. Dominicdidso,butnot contentwiththis,heinspiredthemwithhisownburningzealforsouls,sothat theyformedthemselvesinto acommunityofnunsunder hisdirection.Theybecame thefirstcommunityofOur LadyofProuille,theMother HouseofallDominican Sisters.

Dominicwasonlyfiftyonewhenhedied,wornout bythelaboursandcaresof histremendousundertaking. In hadfifteenshortyearshe succeededinfounding anOrderwhichwastobe oneofthegreatestinthe Churchandwastodountoldgoodintheworkofthe salvationofsouls.Thereare fewsaintswhohaveleft suchalastinginfluenceon thecenturieswhichfollowed.
