St. Dominic Aug. 8

St. Dominic was born to a wealthy and noble family in Spain,

But left all of his wealth and fame behind,

So that he could follow Jesus more closely.

He was famous for his preaching which brought others to Christ and away from heresy.

What are willing to give up to follow Jesus more closely,

And do our words and actions

Lead others closer to Christ,

Or farther away?

In other words,

Do we practice what we preach?
