One Trip That Changed St. Dominic’s Life

On the Feast of St. Dominic, Fr. Miguel reflects on how one ordinary trip with a bishop completely changed the saint’s life. During that journey, Dominic encountered a man caught in the Albigensian heresy and spent nearly the entire night talking with him until the man recognized the truth.That experience revealed Dominic’s vocation: to preach the truth with clarity and charity. The Order of Preachers was born from this calling. Fr. Miguel connects this to Jesus’ words that we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.He also invites us to examine our own “trips” to the Shrine — are they simply sightseeing, or true encounters with the Lord that change us?St. Dominic, pray for us.
