Saint Dominique de Guzmán (1170-1221) est l’un des grands réformateurs spirituels de l’Église catholique. Né en Espagne, il choisit très jeune une vie de pauvreté et de prédication. Face à l’hérésie cathare, il prêche la vérité avec douceur et charité, préférant convaincre par l’exemple plutôt que par la force.

En 1216, il fonde l’Ordre des Frères Prêcheurs — les Dominicains — dont la mission est d’enseigner, prêcher et défendre la foi. Selon la tradition, la Vierge Marie lui aurait confié le Rosaire comme arme spirituelle contre les forces du mal.

Saint Dominique est un modèle de prière, d’étude et d’évangélisation. Son héritage se perpétue à travers des siècles de mission et de formation intellectuelle au service de la foi. Sa fête liturgique est célébrée le 8 août.

00:00On August 8, the Church celebrates Saint Dominic, one of the greatest preachers of all time.
00:06In a time of spiritual crisis, he responded not with power or force,
00:13but by word, poverty and prayer.
00:17Founder of the order of preaching friars, the Dominicans,
00:22he left an indelible mark on the history of the Church.
00:25Dominic was born around 1170 in Caleruega, Spain, into a noble and deeply Christian family.
00:36From a very young age, he showed a lively intelligence and deep piety.
00:41He studied liberal arts, then theology, and became a canon regular at Osma,
00:49where he leads an austere life turned towards God.
00:52But Dominique is not made for a quiet life.
00:56He accompanies his bishop on a diplomatic mission which takes him to Languedoc, in France,
01:04in the heart of a world undermined by the Cathar heresy.
01:07He is upset by the situation.
01:10The people are sincere, but misguided.
01:14Priests are often absent or corrupt, and the Gospel is no longer lived.
01:19Dominic understands that to evangelize, one must live what one preaches.
01:25He then began to announce the faith by begging, on foot, without money,
01:30preaching with gentleness, clarity and fervor.
01:34In 1215, Dominic founded the order of preaching friars, which were soon called Dominicans.
01:41Their motto? Truth, contemplation, preaching.
01:47These religious are neither cloistered monks nor parish priests.
01:52They are itinerant preachers, educated, poor,
01:57rooted in community prayer and study.
02:01Dominic wants to fight heresy not with force, but with the light of truth.
02:06To do this, we must train men capable of speaking to the heart and the intelligence.
02:13Study becomes a form of prayer, preaching an act of love.
02:20His order obtained the approval of Pope Honorius III in 1216.
02:26Communities quickly formed across Europe.
02:31Dominic sends his brothers two by two, like the apostles,
02:36to announce Christ in university towns, the countryside and even in royal courts.
02:45But Dominique is not just an intellectual.
02:49He is a man of intense prayer, of burning compassion.
02:53He spends entire nights praying for sinners, for the Church, for his brothers.
03:01He is often seen prostrate, in tears, begging God for the salvation of the world.
03:07He was not harsh or austere.
03:10His brothers said of him that he was always talking about God or to God.
03:14He had a great tenderness, a gentleness that disarmed even his adversaries.
03:19He encouraged, lifted up, taught, always in peace.
03:26According to popular tradition, it was to Dominic that the Virgin Mary entrusted the rosary.
03:33as a spiritual weapon against error and for the conversion of hearts.
03:39This Marian devotion will spread widely thanks to the Dominicans.
03:44Dominic died in 1221 in Bologna, at the age of 51.
03:51He is exhausted, but his work is growing.
03:56At his death, he left no possessions, manuscripts or monuments.
04:02He leaves men, inflamed by the Gospel,
04:06ready to proclaim Christ to the ends of the earth.
04:10His order will form great figures of holiness and thought.
04:15Saint Thomas Aquinas,
04:17Saint Catherine of Siena,
04:19Saint Vincent Ferrier,
04:21Blessed Fra Angelico.
04:24Dominicans will be present everywhere
04:26where the truth needs to be told,
04:29explained, defended.
04:33Saint Dominic is a model
04:34for all those who want to proclaim the Gospel
04:37with courage and gentleness.
04:39He teaches us that truth cannot be imposed by force,
04:44but proposes itself by example.
04:47On August 8,
04:48let us pray to him to give us his passion for God,
04:52his end of truth,
04:54his love of souls,
04:56that he may intercede for all preachers,
04:59teachers,
05:00the researchers
05:01and for all those who want,
05:04them too,
05:05walk in the light of faith.
05:09Official prayer of the Dominicans,
05:13used in the order of preachers.
