...Life of Saint Dominic St. Dominic (sometimes spelled St. Domonic) was born Dominic Guzman around 1170 in Old Castile, Spain. He was born into a family of privilege and educated in Spain where he attended university for ten years, studying the arts and theology. Education and learning were centerpieces of his life, as were kindness and charity. Saint Dominic Guzman is the patron saint of scientists and astronomy, among others. The life of St. Dominic is very interesting, as he traveled widely and met people from every level of society. His strong belief in education was cemented in the early 13th century whenhe accompanied the Bishop of Osma on a diplomatic mission that crossed into the south of France. There they encountered the Cathars, a group of educated people who were yet heretics. His attempts to preach to them failed, but he came away from the experience having seen a successful model: learning faith through schooling. He returned to the region later and established the first Catholic nunnery at Sainte Marie de Prouille, and the nuns later became known as the Sisters of Saint Dominic. He worked very hard in the following years to spread education about Christ. One well-recounted miracle associated with the story of St. Dominic occurred when he was in Fanjeaux, participating in a theological disputation or debate. His manuscripts and those of his adversaries were compared and various points highlighted. Someone suggested that the manuscripts of both...

...[pic] St. Dominic de Guzman Life of St. Dominic de Guzman Young Dominic St. Dominic was born in Spain in 1170 of the illustrious house of Guzman. After graduation from the University of Palencia and ordination to the priesthood, he became a canon of St. Augustine and superior of the canons in the cathedral of Osma. Passing through southern France with his bishop in the year 1203, the young canon was shocked to witness the spiritual horrors wrought by the Albigensian heresy. It was in this storied domain of the troubadours that our zealous Castilian discovered his vocation and laid the foundation of the Order of Preachers. A Preachers Response To perpetuate among these benighted souls his future apostolate Dominic founded a three-fold religious Order, one for the converted Albigensian women at Prouille, one for an apostolic band of preachers, and another for men and women known as Tertiaries living in the world as lay Dominicans affiliated with the Order. Dominic, like St. Bernard before him, found the heretics unreceptive, stubborn and hostile, but the barking of the “Watchdog of the Lord” continued loud and clear, while his hunger for souls grew stronger. The Holy Preacher St. Dominic's humility, fatherly kindness, patience and joyfulness under persecution impressed even his enemies who at times mocked, spit at him and pelted him with stones or mud. Since he could not shed his blood for their salvation, he fasted, took the...

...University of Santo Tomas and we would like to share to all of you or reflection related to the life of St. Dominic de Guzman. The 10 lessons that we've learned from the movie. :) 1HST Group 6 Reza Farinas Alan Arriola Quina Ignacio Harley Samonte Rizelle Religioso Group Reflection on the film “St. Dominic: Light of the Church” The film is about a man, used by God to help and serve people especially those who are hungry and extremely affected by the war between Christians and Moors. Throughout his inspiring experiences and trials, there are lessons that give us enlightenment and a much wider perspective on how to be a good servant not only to others but also to God. First of these lessons is love. Dominic shows that everybody must show love and compassion to others. St. Dominic shows that aside from loving yourself, you should also love others. St. Dominic shows his love not only to his family and friends, but also to the strangers especially to those who can’t afford to buy food. Second, St. Dominic’s humbleness. He is very humble that even if he did a very small or simple mistake, he asks forgiveness to the person that he made mistake to. Even if he becomes a priest on the latter part of the film, he keeps his feet on the ground, showing that he is not unique to everyone and still a humble servant to his church and to good Lord himself. Third, St. Dominic thought us is his selflessness. He doesn’t care anymore to himself, and help all the people who need to be...

...Mexico There I was in California before it all happens, but when I woke up I was in Mexico with my best friend Dominic. We were fishing one day in the Pacific Ocean when it was around 11:30 at night when we accidentally fell asleep. We woke up not knowing anything with rocks and sand all around us. I woke up first so I woke up Dominic. We started walking towards building not knowing where we were. The buildings seemed small and old. We thought that was weird for California. But when we got to the buildings, we realized we weren't in California. We were in Mexico. What were we going to do. No money, no phones, no nothing. We were doomed. People needed to help us so we could get back to California. But we knew we had a slim chance in getting...

The Life of Saint Dominic De guzman was so inspirational that his life was made a film by the Dominican community of the Philippines. Through the aid of divine providence, this team was able to shoot a magnificent film in a country whose culture far differs from theirs. His life, filled with values of, self-sacrifice, mercy, humility, and love for god, was a stepping stone for the growth of Catholic population in Rome. Through an apostolic crusade to change the world, he and a couple of monks ventured in different parts of Europe, with only a staff and a bible, and preached of the real truth. With the approval of the pope, this mission became official and lasted for a couple of years, making them travel on foot. He had people help him along the way and that made him very thankful, of everything. On the later part of the movie, he died of being tired, many mourned but he said that they should not. He’s me of more help where he is going...

...You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree.”- Michael Crichton. If history is unknown to us how would we appreciate the present times? Participating to tours that shows and imparts the history of something is a great opportunity to see and reflect why and what life has been today. Last September 23, 2015, Wednesday, together with my classmates we are blessed to witness historical places like the St. Dominic Parish Church and the Bataan Tourism Center which caters different historical events and contributions of our fellow Filipinos here at Bataan. First stop is the Saint Dominic Parish Church which is known as Abucay Church, located at Brgy. Laon, Abucay, Bataan. The church is founded by Dominican Missionary Friars and built to be dedicated to St. Dominic de Guzman. This church witnessed the massacre of hundreds of Filipinos and Spaniards by the Dutch invaders. The building is more than 400 years old and one of the oldest church in the Philippines. The making of St. Dominic Parish Church was headed by Father Geronimo de Belen in early 1600s. Saint Dominic Church once suffered by a horrible damage because of the earthquake but still survived. On the later years it was destroyed by fire but was revived and reconstructed under Father Jose Diego Pelaez. This only shows how much we value our church as much as we value our creator. Second stop is the Bataan Tourism Center which is located at Roman Highway, Balanga, Bataan. Bataan Tourism Center was constructed through...

...St. Dominic Savio St. Dominic Savio was born in a village of Riva, in Piedmont, northern Italy. He was born on April 2, 1842, and died on March 9, 1957 at the age of 14. His parents were Carlo and Brigitta Savio. He had 9 siblings. Dominic was baptized as Domenico, which means “belonging to God”, and Savio means “wise”. His dad was a blacksmith, and his mom was a seamstress. Although they were very hard working, they were poor. Dominic’s parents tried very hard to give him a Christian upbringing. At the age of four, he was able to pray by himself. He was often found alone praying. He even reminded others to pray. Dominic was a good child. Dominic received his First Holy Communion at the early age of seven with a special permission from the priests. He would rather die than sin. Dominic’s mentor and teacher at the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales was St. John Bosco. He looked up to him, and wanted to learn from him. He was always obedient to his teachers, and chose his friends very carefully. Dominic renewed his First Communion promises at the altar at the age of twelve. John Bosco recorded this, and other incidents that happened for future reference. Dominic was very impressed after listening to a talk on sainthood, and decided he would become a saint. He did physical penances like making his bed with small stones and pieces of wood, covering with thin clothing in the winter, and fasting on bread and water. When John Bosco heard of this, they forbade...

...------------------------------------------------- WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? ------------------------------------------------- Transnational Desires and Sex Tourism in the Dominican Republic ------------------------------------------------- By: Denise Brennan In, What’s Love Got to do with It? Denise Brennan writes about her study of Sosúa, Dominican Republic as a transnational sex tourism site. “What started out as a project on sex tourism expanded into a study on globalization and the changes, opportunities, and inequalities it has engendered within one tourist town,” (Brennan, 13). Although this globalization of Sosúa is perceived as an opportunity for a golden ticket out of poverty, many sex workers do not see the reality that, depending on their race, class, gender, and citizenship, these opportunities may never be available to them. The sex workers of Sosúa place themselves in positions to be exploited and victimized based on their perceptions of this opportunity for success, their definitions of morality and their own self-identities, and their overwhelming need for money to fulfill “their familial obligations as heads of household” (Brennan, 153). Denise Brennan studies why Dominican women migrate to Sosúa to pursue sex work and how European sex tourists come to Sosúa to buy sex cheaply and live out racialized fantasies. The women choose Sosúa because of their perceptions of opportunities to meet European sex tourists, foster relationships, and eventually...

...Case 7-The Forgotten Group Member MGMT591 Leadership and Organizational Behavior 2012 The Forgotten Group Member In the case of The Forgotten Group Member the information is spotty but it is clear that Christine is dealing with situations in a very passive manor and she will get more out of her team if she understood the staged of group/team development which would assist her Leadership role. When the team was formed by the teacher and the group got together it would have been in Christine’s and the group’s best interest to assess the others and see the reaction. When Mike keeps making excuses of why he can’t make the meetings Christine could put it in his hands by asking him when he would like him to meet, making it more his responsibility (idea). By giving it to him then he is more likely to show up and participate. Understanding everyone’s strengths in the group you can gear what each person does to their own strength making it easier to get the end results you want or need. When the group is being formed in the beginning the group should come up with what the consequences will be and stick to it, maintain the groups integrity even if you have to report a student to the teacher for not participating, the group can easily pick up Mike’s role and will be more efficient. Christine needs to look more at the actions and personality of the group’s members and what stage they are in to help overcome the issues that Mike brings to the group. Maybe with the right direction...

... The False Rehabilitation of Jonathan Wayne Nobles Changing your behavior out the outside doesn’t mean there was rehabilitation on the inside. I’m going to persuade you that Jonathan Wayne Nobles wasn’t rehabilitated by using the authors background and reason for him being biased. The Author was only showing us his point of view about the situation. In the story Nobles was doing good deeds to get better treatment in jail. He was also being used by the church to gain followers and by the prison to make their program look better to the outside word. Firstly, I’d like to talk about the author of ‘A Death in Texas’. Steve Earle, was described as “a singer-songwriter whose music ranges from rockabilly and bluegrass to hard rock and folk” (Earle 73.) That shows Steve Earle was, without, a doubt capable to write a story using emotions to make us think what he wants us to think. Even if it’s against our personal morals. Earle was a former heroin addict that had a traumatizing past. An article at Chicago Tribune says "I never made a record straight until this record--ever," Earle declares of ‘Train A-Comin'. ‘I was a heroin addict when I made `Guitar Town’, although it wasn't common knowledge. Back then, I would clean up and be sick for three days before we went out on the road. And when I was in New York City, any place where I knew the heroin was good and real easy to get and I knew how to get it, I got high"(Chicago Tribune) During the point in time of the story, Earle was “recovered”...

...Dominic Morisseau’s “Skeleton Crew,” tells the story of four individuals working in an auto stamping plant in Detroit. Faye, Reggie, Shanita, and Dez struggle with the reality of their lives while deciding what to do if their plant shuts down. Morisseau’s play explores themes dealing with the black familial structure and culture. Whether it is through the budding relationship of Dez and Shanita or Faye and Reggie’s mother/son relationship, Morisseau uses the characters in “Skeleton Crew” to communicate the complexities of black families. The first relationship the audience learns about is between Dez and Shanita. Dez is constantly hitting on the very pregnancy and unamused Shanita. Through the dialogue it is clear that Shanita’s relationship with boyfriend, her baby’s father, is strained. Shanita never mentions her boyfriend, other than chastising Faye for bringing up the fact that she comes into to work crying. Shanita is young and just starting her journey into...

Accidentally left behind on a school field trip, he went on an adventure back in the past through his dream.

...Jesus: Advocating Community Some would say God, or the author of Genesis, got it right: "It is not good for man to be alone." For as long as there have been humans, there have been communities. We are communal beings. From the first small tribes to the modern day mega cities, communities have evolved just as much as the human species. There are many ways that one can identify with a community. Human beings as well as many other species, especially primates, need these groupings as much as most social animals. Watch as every Sunday thousands sit distant from their closest sports field, straining to see the players, although they can far more easily watch the game at home in the comfort of their living rooms. Yet, in modern times, the community seems to be falling apart. They are not as strong as they once were. It is time we look back to the social climate that forged one of the most influential revolutionaries of all time. The historical Jesus of Nazareth. As John Crossan said “If the supreme value for the twentieth-century American imagination is individualism , based on economics and property, that for the first-century Mediterranean imagination can be called, to the contrary, groupism.” Our society has experienced major social shifts that would be unimaginable to a small Jewish town in ancient Palestine. Individuals no longer realize they need to rely on others in the way they once did. Modern technology has pushed us farther and farther into our own homes and away...
