St. Dominic – still setting “the earth on fire” 800 years later…In conversation with Bert Ghezzi

The Spanish give us yet another incredible saint...St. Dominic. He is the founder of the Order of Preachers (so when you see an "O.P." behind the name, that's what's going on). Most of us call them the Dominicans. Born in 1170, he died on this date in 1221. A lot of traveling took place between those years. There is an interesting story that is told that before his birth his mother dreamed that a dog leapt from her womb carrying a torch in its mouth, and "seemed to set the earth on fire." His name in latin is Dominicanus, which is essentially the "Lord's Hound"....fascinating. (Parents out there, take note: names matter.) St. Dominic and his order have been responsible for setting the earth ablaze with the Gospel for over 800 years.
