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.
