Saint Dominic - Watchdog for God

At that time, Saint Dominic's bishop ,Martin Bazan, voiced a desire to bring about reform; he wanted the canons of his cathedral to live a shared life as religious, as part of a community.

He and the new prior of the canons, Don Diego de Asevedo, had heard of Dominic's piety and wisdom, and his desire to be a religious.

Their hope was that he could convince these self-absorbed, strong-willed clerics into coming together and join the Canons Regular; they summoned Dominic!

So after he was ordained a priest, Saint Dominic was vested in the habit of the Canons Regular of Osma, made his profession to that Order, and for the next nine years faithfully followed the Rule of Saint Augustine. One of his companions said of him, at this time,

"Now it was that he began to appear among his brethren like a bright burning torch, the first in holiness, the last in humility, spreading about him an odor of life which gave life, and a perfume like the sweetness of summer days.

Day and night he was in the church praying without ceasing. God gave him the Grace to weep for sinners and for the afflicted; he bore their sorrows in an inner sanctuary of compassion which pressed on his heart, flowed out and escaped in tears.

It was his custom to spend his nights in prayer and to speak to God behind closed doors." Dominic consecrated himself, dedicating his life to the salvation of souls for Christ.

He was happy! He thought this was where God had placed him, but that was to come to an end, when Don Diego, now Bishop of Osma, chose him to accompany him on a mission to Denmark, which would be the first leg of a long journey of suffering, pain and torment.

Dear Bob and Penny:
I just saw your Super Saints presentation on Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Jane de Chantal. Thank you for closing your show by saying that Jesus is calling us to be great Saints. In a world that treats people anonymously, it is important to remember that we are specially, infinitely, deeply loved by Jesus, and that He made each one of us for a special saintly purpose. And thank you for saying, “We love you” at the end of each show. These words aren’t said often enough today.
We love you! God bless,
