Walking with Saint
Dominic
Peter B. Lobo, OP
Walking with Saint
Dominic is a collection of reflections and meditations
on St. Dominic's way of following Jesus. To walk with
St. Dominic means to walk with Jesus, for St. Dominic
teaches us how to walk in the footsteps of his Master.
His genius lies in the way in which he brought together
into a wonderful synthesis the two main facets of Jesus'
life, namely, his contemplative union with his Father
in quiet prayer and reflection and his untiring
preaching of the Good News to bring healing and
salvation to people. The mixed life that St. Dominic
gave to us unites these two sides of Jesus' life into a
unified whole. Adopting St. Dominic's way of following
Jesus is a tested and proven way of imitating Jesus, for
it moulds us into true disciples and striking witnesses
to Jesus, the Truth, who enfleshed himself among us.
That is why putting on St. Dominic is a secure way of
putting on Christ. In this book we are invited to look
again and again at St. Dominic, who is the light of the
Church, teacher of truth, rose of patience, ivory of
chastity and preacher of grace. He will help us by his
prayers as he himself promised and will walk with us as
our faithful companion and sure guide in the way of
Jesus Christ.
