Happy Feast of St. Dominic!!!
I am so excited for the feast of St. Dominic today! It's a wonderful day for all Dominicans (obviously!), but especially because of the profession of final vows which takes (took, really) place in Nashville today! Congratulations to all of those sisters (especially the two who are posted earlier on this blog!!) Yay!
To begin the celebration, I went to Mass (of course), then breakfast...and perhaps I might go treat myself to a nice dinner before going to a going-away party for a friend tonight. Woot! What a great day.
If you're curious as to where to find some nice pictures of St. Dominic, check these out. Once I'm on a computer that I can post pictures with (aka: not this one), I will post a few of my favorites. Meanwhile, enjoy the link.

Some ideas for your own personal celebration:
1. Wear black and white. You know you want to.
2. Read something Dominican...you know, Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, etc.
3. Use the word "veritas" in everyday vocabulary at least once today.
4. Check out the stars in the night sky (he is the patron of astronomers, after all...)
5. Befriend a black and white dog (so long as you don't allow it to carry a torch in its mouth!).
As for me...well, I'll let you know what I come up with for myself. ;)
Caritas et veritas!!
Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare!!
Holy Father Dominic, pray for us!
