St. Dominic
HAPPY FEAST DAY OF ST.DOMINIC!
"All the evidence goes to show that St. Dominic was a man of remarkable attractiveness of character and broadness of vision; he had the deepest compassion for every sort of human suffering; he saw the need to use all the resources of human learning in the service of Christ; his constant reading was St. Matthew's gospel, St. Paul's letters and the Conferences of St. John Cassian. The order that he founded was a formative factor in the religious and intellectual life of later medieval Europe; its diffusion is now world-wide." (source)
Has anyone else noticed that there's a pretty solid set of saints with feast days in early August? We're on a role. Tomorrow. . . St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein).
