The Dominican Province of St. Joseph wishes you a very happy and grace-filled Solemnity of St. Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers!
Who can tell us what the object of love was for Saint Dominic in those nights of penance and prayer passed in tears at the foot of the altar?
It was God, preferred above all, loved more than all, with undivided heart, yet with no exclusions—for this love embraced, elevated, and intensified all legitimate affections.
In the fire of charity, these affections became an ardent and consuming thirst for the salvation of souls.
—Fr. Réginald Marie Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P.
Holy Father Dominic, pray for us!
