The Life of St. Dominic: Founder of the Dominicans | Feast Day Reflection & Miracles

About this sermon

Today we honor St. Dominic de Guzmán (1170–1221), the great founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), one of the Church's greatest champions of truth, preaching, and holiness. In this reflection, we explore the inspiring life of St. Dominic—from his youth of prayer, penance, and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to his extraordinary charity toward the poor, including selling his own books to feed the hungry during a famine. We also examine the founding of the Dominican Order, whose mission was to defend the Catholic Faith through preaching, study, poverty, and contemplation. Finally, we recount one of the most remarkable miracles attributed to St. Dominic: the raising of a deceased child back to life through the mercy of God. May the example of St. Dominic inspire us to seek truth, live lives of prayer, and courageously proclaim the Gospel. "St. Dominic, pray for us."
