Title: "Dog of the Lord" (Latin: Domini (Lord), canis (dog) = "Dominicanis")
Bio: Spread devotion of the Rosary at the behest of the Blessed Mother to help combating heresy (Albigensianism); founded the Dominican Order.
Patron: Astronomers, Dominican Republic
The testimony of a Dominican preacher in the 15th century tells us the devotion of the Rosary was given to Saint Dominic by the Blessed Virgin Mother during an apparition he received of her in 1214 A.D. Although there’s no surviving documentation of this event, nor surviving testimony of St. Dominic, we know that the Church believed it to be a true account, given the incredible fruit mendicant preachers bore when spreading the rosary to those they converted. It became so important to the spiritual life of Catholics that Pope Pius V issued a decree in 1569 officially recognizing the devotion.
Please watch the video from Fr. Don Calloway, below, for an extraordinary walk through the history of the rosary and its true Divine origin.
