Saint Dominic, Confessor (4 August) ~ Dom Prosper Guéranger

About this sermon

In this reading from Dom Prosper Guéranger's The Liturgical Year, we celebrate St. Dominic (1170–1221), founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and one of the Church's greatest defenders of truth. Drawing upon Sacred Scripture, St. Gregory IX, St. Catherine of Siena, Dante Alighieri, and the rich traditions of the Dominican Order, Dom Guéranger presents St. Dominic as the providential saint raised up by God to combat heresy through holiness, learning, preaching, and charity. This reflection explores: The prophetic dream of St. Dominic's mother The founding of the Dominican Order The battle against heresy through truth The harmony of faith and reason The Dominican love of sacred theology The role of poverty, humility, and contemplation Our Lady's special protection of the Order The Rosary as the weapon of Mary's army The enduring mission of the Friars Preachers Dom Guéranger beautifully presents St. Dominic alongside St. Francis of Assisi, showing how Divine Providence raised up these two great saints to renew Christendom during a time of profound spiritual crisis. More than eight centuries later, St. Dominic's call remains the same: to know Christ deeply, defend the Catholic Faith courageously, and preach the Gospel with wisdom, charity, and zeal. "To praise, to bless, and to preach." — Traditional Dominican motto May St. Dominic obtain for us a greater love of truth, deeper devotion to Our Lady, and unwavering fidelity to the Catholic Faith. 🙏 Support Sensus Fidelium 🔴 Support Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 📺 Sensus Fidelium Apps https://sensusfidelium.tv/ ❤️ Support Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📢 Advertise with Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ ⛪ Parish Formation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ 📬 Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ ✍️ Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ 🛍️ Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ⏰ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 0:18 Dante's Praise of St. Dominic 1:23 The Meaning of St. Dominic's Name 2:04 St. Francis and St. Dominic 3:30 God's Providence in Raising Up the Dominicans 4:33 St. Dominic Against Heresy 5:04 Poverty and the Apostolic Life 6:08 Faith, Reason & Sacred Theology 6:54 St. Catherine of Siena on St. Dominic 7:27 The Dominican Mission 8:00 Defending the Catholic Faith 9:04 The Knights of Truth 9:54 Our Lady Gives the Rosary 10:26 Growth of the Dominican Order 11:24 Contemplation Before Action 12:44 The Third Order of St. Dominic 13:22 The Life of St. Dominic 14:19 Founding the Order of Preachers 14:59 Miracles of St. Dominic 15:22 The Death of St. Dominic 15:55 Dominican Saints Through the Ages 16:54 Our Lady's Protection 17:35 Defending the Church from Error 18:07 The Wisdom of St. Dominic 19:26 The Legacy of the Dominican Order 20:05 "To Praise, To Bless, To Preach" 20:30 Conclusion https://sensusfidelium.com/the-liturgical-year-dom-prosper-gueranger/august/august-4-saint-dominic-confessor/ #StDominic #Dominicans #OrderOfPreachers #DomGueranger #LiturgicalYear #CatholicSaints #TraditionalCatholic #Rosary #OurLady #CatholicTheology #ChurchHistory #SaintOfTheDay #CatholicFaith #SensusFidelium #august4 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ Subscribe to Other Video Platforms 🔴 BitChute --- https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Sensus_Fidelium/ 🔴 Rumble --- https://rumble.com/c/c-298311 🔴 My Catholic Tube - https://mycatholictube.com/videos/sensus-fidelium-channel/ 🔴 LBRY.tv --- https://lbry.tv/@SensusFidelium:c 🔴 ODYSEE - https://odysee.com/@SensusFidelium:c 🔴 UGETube - https://videos.utahgunexchange.com/@Sensus%20Fidelium 🔴 BrandNewTube - https://brandnewtube.com/@SensusFidelium 🔴 GabTV - https://tv.gab.com/channel/Sensus_Fidelium 🔴 GloriaTV - https://gloria.tv/Sensus%20Fidelium 🔴 Brighteon - https://www.brighteon.com/channels/sensusfidelium ▶️ Follow on Social Media: 🔴 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SensusFidelium/ 🔴 Twitter: https://https://twitter.com/Sensus_Fidelium 🔴 YouTube: Click Subscribe, then Click "Notification Bell" = 🔔 🔴 Parler: https://parler.com/profile/Sensusfidelium/posts 🔴 SP3RN: https://www.sp3rn.com/community/pages/14-sensus-fidelium 🔴 GAB: https://gab.com/Sensus_Fidelium 🔴 Bastyon: https://bastyon.com/sensusfidelium 🔴 GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/sensus_fidelium 🔴 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/sensusfidelium/ 🔴 Telegram: https//t.me/RealSensusFidelium 🔴 Truth Social - @SensusFidelium ▶️ Follow on iTunes: 🔴 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sensus-fidelium-catholic-podcast/id1477010758
