SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - St Dominic
DESCRIPTION:ST DOMINIC \nAnd the History of the Order of Preachers \n◊◊◊ \nDominic possessed such great integrity and was so strongly motivated by \ndivine love\, that without a doubt he proved to be a bearer of honor and grace. \nAnd since a joyful heart animates the face\, he displayed the peaceful composure \nof a spiritual man in the kindness he manifested outwardly and by the \ncheerfulness of his countenance. \nWherever he went he showed himself in word and deed to be a man of the \nGospel. During the day no one was more community-minded or pleasant \ntoward his brothers and associates. During the night hours no one was more \npersistent in every kind of vigil and supplication. He seldom spoke unless it was \nwith God\, that is\, in prayer\, or about God; and in this matter instructed his \nbrothers. \nFrequently he made a special personal petition that God would deign to \ngrant him genuine charity in caring for and obtaining the salvation of others. \nFor he believed that only then would he be truly a member of Christ\, when he \nhad given himself totally for the salvation of others\, just as the Lord Jesus\, the \nSavior of all\, had offered himself completely for our salvation. So\, for this work\, \nafter a lengthy period of careful and provident planning\, he founded the Order \nof Friars Preachers. \nIn his conversations and letters he often urged the brothers of the Order \nto study constantly the Old and New Testaments. He always carried with him \nthe gospels according to Matthew and the epistles of Paul\, and so well did he \nstudy them that he almost knew them from memory. \nTwo or three times he was chosen bishop\, but he always refused\, \npreferring to live with his brothers in poverty. Of him Pope Gregory IX \ndeclared: “I knew him as a steadfast follower of the apostolic way of life. There \nis no doubt that he is in heaven\, sharing in the glory of the apostles themselves.”
