The Feast of St. Dominic | The Rosary, Raising the Dead & Holiness

About this sermon

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Dominic (1170–1221), founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and one of the greatest defenders of the Catholic Faith. In this reflection we examine three remarkable aspects of his holy life: • The connection between St. Dominic and the Holy Rosary • The extraordinary Ash Wednesday miracle in which God restored a man to life through St. Dominic • The profound purity of heart that made St. Dominic such a powerful instrument of God's grace The Rosary, rooted in Apostolic Tradition through the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and meditation upon the mysteries of Christ, was given its familiar form through the Blessed Virgin Mary's intervention with St. Dominic according to longstanding Catholic tradition. As St. Louis de Montfort recounts in The Secret of the Rosary, Our Lady entrusted this heavenly weapon to St. Dominic for the conversion of sinners and the defeat of heresy. This reflection also recalls the miraculous resurrection of a young man through the prayers of St. Dominic during Mass in Rome in 1218 and concludes by examining the saint's extraordinary purity, love of poverty, prayer, penance, and complete devotion to Our Lady. May St. Dominic inspire us to pray the Holy Rosary faithfully, defend the Catholic Faith courageously, pursue holiness wholeheartedly, and seek purity of heart above all earthly things. St. Dominic, pray for us!
