If you struggle with spiritual dryness
Go receive Holy Communion. Go with a prayerful attitude
It has been the greatest help for me.

This next week is a big one for the Order of Preachers. On Monday August 4th is the traditional feast day of our Holy Father St. Dominic. On August 6th it will be the 804th anniversary of St. Dominic’s death. On August 8th it will be his feast in the new calendar and his birthday.
I hope to release videos on all these days but since I’ve been out of town and haven’t been able to work on them, I can’t make any promises.
Thank you all for your support and patience!

Glory to God in the highest! Today is the feast of our Holy Father, St. Dominic. Our blessed founder was born on August 8th, 1170 and gained his eternal rest on August 6th, 1221.
Here is what our learned liturgical scholars say about this great Saint.
“At the end of the 12th century the church in France was being ravaged by the Albigensian heretics, who not only taught abominable doctrines but also plundered churches and massacred priests. St. Dominic organised a great preaching crusade to oppose falsehood and error and rekindle everywhere the torch of enlightened Christian faith. His great mission had been foreshadowed to his mother in a dream in which she saw her son in the guise of a dog with a torch in its mouth, and in 1215 Pope Innocent III dreamt that he saw the walls of the Lateran basilica on the point of collapse, but held up by the powerful shoulders of a friar. All his life Dominic was remarkable for his purity, and so he is commonly represented holding a symbolic lily. He founded the Order of Friars Preachers, arming them with the shield of truth and the sword of the word¹, to teach and preach sound doctrine. Many Dominican friars and nuns have become saints by following their founder in fervent study of the Gospel, “the book of charity” as he called it, and preaching the doctrine it reveals. St Dominic was especially devoted to the Blessed Virgin, and was the great promoter of the Holy Rosary. He died at Bologna on August 6, 1221.” -Saint Andrew Daily Missal
From Blessed Cardinal Schuster's Sacramentrary-
“After the praises of St. Dominic, which Dante puts in the mouth of St. Bonaventure in Paradise, one could not indeed say anything more worthy of him. As, in the time of the apostles, the great work of evangelization was divided, St Peter being sent to the Jews, St Paul to the Gentiles, so, too, in the thirteenth century Providence seemed to divide the mission field of the Church between St Dominic and St Francis. To the Poverello of Assisi were entrusted the poor people or Minores of the time of the Communes; for it was necessary to retard through several centuries the outbreak of the socialist conflagration by the example of evangelical poverty and of tender devotion to the mysteries of the human nature of the Redeemer. To Dominic, on the other hand, the magister generalis of an Order of learned preachers, was given the duty of defending Catholic doctrine and of opposing the new heresies. Thus he sat, as inquisitor, in the first tribunal of the Sacred Inquisition established at Rome, in the Apostolic Palace itself. It was there also that, according to tradition, he raised a child to life; and there he wrought many miracles at the titles of St Sixtus and of St Sabina. On August 6, 1221, he died, and the Church awaited his natalis. Almost all the sung portions of the Mass, as well as the Gospel, are taken from the Common of Confessors as on January 23, the feast of St Raymund.
Collect: “O God, who hast vouchsafed to make thy Church illustrious by the merits and teaching of blessed Dominic thy confessor; grant that, through his intercession, she may not be deprived of temporal help, and may continually advance in spiritual growth.”
We pray here for two things: temporalia auxilia for the body, and spiritualia incrementa for the soul. We should note the significant language of the Church. For the spiritualia incrementa we need also the temporalia auxilia, because all created things are means to an end, but not the end itself. They are intended, therefore, to help the soul to attain to God her final supernatural end.

Something I have learned over the year or so of being Catholic is we must properly prepare for confession. I have many times failed to do this. In preparing for a general confession I have discovered it’s much easier to see my sins by praying in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in adoration. I plan on doing this before every confession now. If you struggle with proper preparation for confession make time for prayer in the presence of the blessed sacrament.

"Let us love Jesus and Mary and become saints. We cannot hope or pray for anything better. Farewell then, until we meet in paradise, at the feet of this most sweet Mother and of this most loving Son. May we praise them there and love them face to face for all of eternity. Amen."
