gloriagurl Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice video....one question..... In the pronouncement of the profession, the friar says "according to the Rule of St. Augustine"......I thought the Dominicans had their own rule? Am I mistaken? Can someone please clarify? Thanks so much. pax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's right in the first paragraph on this page: [url="http://www.domcentral.org/trad/domspirit/spirit01.htm"]http://www.domcentral.org/trad/domspirit/spirit01.htm[/url] If you're interested in learning about the Dominicans, I'd recommend reading Fr. Hinnebusch's "Dominican Spirituality". It's an amazing overview (just click "INDEX" at the bottom of that page and it'll take you to the introduction and table of contents. The whole thing's on that site. It's great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And St. Dominic chose the Rule of St. Augustine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 St. Dominic was a very humble man. I am not surprised that he would choose a rule already written by another great saint rather than write his own. Unfortunately, he did not leave much written about himself. Rather, he left an example, and 800 years later, this example continues to inspire and impact the Holy Catholic Church. Thanks for the video link, Veritas!
