SAINT OF THE DAY (August 8)
On August 8, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of St. Dominic Guzman, who helped the cause of orthodoxy in the medieval Church by founding the Order of Preachers, also known as Dominicans.
“This great saint reminds us that in the heart of the Church, a missionary fire must always burn,” Pope Benedict XVI said in a February 2010 General Audience talk on the life of St. Dominic.
In his life, the Pope said, “the search for God's glory and the salvation of souls went hand in hand.���
Born on 8 August 1170 in Caleruega, Spain, Dominic was the son of Felix Guzman and Joanna of Aza, members of the nobility.
His mother would eventually be beatified by the Church, as would his brother Manes who became a Dominican.
The family's oldest son Antonio also became a priest.
Dominic received his early education from his uncle, who was a priest, before entering the University of Palencia where he studied for ten years.
In one notable incident from this period, he sold his entire collection of rare books to provide for the relief of the poor in the city.
After his ordination to the priesthood, Dominic was asked by Bishop Diego of Osma to participate in local church reforms.
He spent nine years in Osma, pursuing a life of intense prayer, before being called to accompany the bishop on a piece of business for King Alfonso IX of Castile in 1203.
While traveling in France with the bishop, Dominic observed the bad effects of the Albigensian heresy, which had taken hold in southern France during the preceding century.
The sect revived an earlier heresy, Manicheanism, which condemned the material world as an evil realm not created by God.
Dreading the spread of heresy, Dominic began to think about founding a religious order to promote the truth.
In 1204, he and Bishop Diego were sent by Pope Innocent III to assist in the effort against the Albigensians, which eventually involved both military force and theological persuasion.
In France, Dominic engaged in doctrinal debates and set up a convent whose rule would eventually become a template for the life of female Dominicans.
He continued his preaching mission from 1208 to 1215, during the intensification of the military effort against the Albigensians.
In 1214, Dominic's extreme physical asceticism caused him to fall into a coma, during which the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to him and instructed him to promote the prayer of the Rosary.
Its focus on the incarnation and life of Christ directly countered the Albigensian attitude towards matter as evil.
During that same year, Dominic returned to Tolouse and obtained the bishop's approval of his plan for an order dedicated to preaching.
He and a group of followers gained local recognition as a religious congregation, and Dominic accompanied Tolouse's bishop to Rome for an ecumenical council in 1215.
The council stressed the Church's need for better preaching but also set up a barrier to the institution of new religious orders.
Dominic, however, obtained papal approval for his plan in 1216 and was named as the Pope's chief theologian.
The Order of Preachers expanded in Europe with papal help in 1218.
The founder spent the last several years of his life building up the order and continuing his preaching missions, during which he is said to have converted some 100,000 people.
After several weeks of illness, Dominic died in Italy on 6 August 1221.
He was canonized by Pope Gregory IX on 13 July 1234.
He is the patron saint of astronomers and natural scientists.
He and his order are traditionally credited with spreading and popularizing the rosary.
The country Dominican Republic and its capital Santo Domingo are named after Saint Dominic.

"You are my companion and must walk with me. For if we hold together, no earthly power can withstand us."
St. Dominic to St. Francis, his good friend.
Saints lore blowing my mind 🤯
Did you know St. Dominic and St. Francis met one day and they became homies?
And it's really cool that even the two orders visit each of their founder's feast day, representing the union of their friendship even years after their passing.
I loved all the different icons and art of my favorite saints together. And it genuinely suprised me that they actually met and became friends through their mutual goal and faith.
This is also one of my first where I put more people in it 'cause was important I depicted them with their followers.

SUBWAY BOSSES' ENGLISH NAME ANALYSIS
warning: I will mention something related to Catholicism here
These past days, I've been curious where does Ingo's name came from. I know Pokemon likes to do wordplays when it comes to naming characters so I decided to make a mini-research
INGO
Ingo's name comes from the term "ingoing"
I thought about it further then I realized it might came from the name "Domingo"
In the Philippines, Filipino Catholics love to give nicknames to their patron saints, like Tatang Usteng for St. Augustine and Tatang Enteng for St. Vincent Ferrer. I have a devotion to St. Dominic de Guzman and I dearly call him Tatang Inggo ("Tatang" means "father")
Yes, Inggo is a popular nickname for St. Dominic, just like Isko/Kiko for St. Francis
Back to name analysis, "Ingo" might derive from "Domingo." "Dominic" and "Domingo" come from "Dominicus," meaning "belonging to God"
EMMET
Emmet's name (probably) comes from the term "emit" (to throw or give off, to send out)
"Emmet" has many possible origins. First, "Emmet" can be a male variation of the name "Emma," which comes from the Germanic word "ermen," meaning "whole" or "universal"
"Emmet" can also come from the Hebrew word "אמת" (emét) meaning "truth" or from the old Persian word "امید" (omid) meaning "hope" or "aspiration"
There you go, a breakdown in Subway Bosses' names!
Recap:
"Ingo" might come from "Domingo," meaning "belonging to God" and "Emmet" means "whole," "universal," "truth," hope" or "aspiration"
Hope you like my mini-research! (finally done with my overthinking)

Saint Dominic
1170 - 1221
Feast Day: August 8 (New), August 4 (Trad)
Patronage: Astronomers, astronomy, Dominican Republic, falsely accused people, stargazing
Saint Dominic Guzman was a Spanish priest and founder of the Dominican Order. He is the patron saint of astronomy and science, a reflection of his lifelong love of learning and teaching. When Dominic was baptized as a baby, his mother reportedly saw a star shining from his chest. In portraits, he is often depicted with a star shining on or above his head. And although there is no evidence that St. Dominic ever studied astronomy himself, this aspect of scientific learning was well known when St. Dominic attended university, and it's certainly possible that he was exposed to the mysteries of the heavens.

St Dominic de Guzman OP (1170-1221) Confessor, Founder of the Dominicans – The Order of Preachers – Priest, Founder, Teacher, Preacher, Mystic, Miracle-Worker, Apostle of the Holy Rosary. At Dominic’s Baptism, Blessed Joan, his Mother, saw a star shining from his chest, which became another of his symbols in art and led to his patronage of astronomy. https://anastpaul.wordpress.com/2017/08/08/saint-of-the-day-8-august-st-dominic-de-guzman-founder-of-the-dominican-order-of-preachers/ A lovely personal description of St Dominic here: https://anastpaul.com/2022/08/04/saint-of-the-day-4-august-st-dominic-confessor/ The Roman Martyrology states today: “At Bologna, St Dominic, Confessor, Founder of the Order of Friars Preachers, most renowned for sanctity and learning. He preserved his chastity unsullied to the end of his life and by his great merits, raised three persons from the dead. After having repressed heresies by his preaching and instructed many in the religious and Godly life, he rested in peace on the 6th of this month. His Feast, however, is celebrated on this day by decree of Pope Paul IV.”
(via Pentecost XI, Madonna dell’Apparizione / Our Lady of the Apparition, Italy (1716), St Dominic and the Saints celebrated on 4 August – AnaStpaul)

Oaxaca - Santo Domingo
When the Dominicans were invited to come to Oaxaca they built their grandest monastery in the city of Oaxaca, Santo Domingo de Guzman. Yes, Saint Dominic was from the Spanish family Guzman.
Work on Santo Domingo began in 1551 but it wasn't inaugurated until 1608.
Santo Domingo sits on the hill at the opposite end of Alcalá, the pedestrian street, forming the northern anchor with the cathedral and zocalo as the southern.
It's by far the largest and grandest of the Dominican monasteries we visited this year. The inside is the most richly decorated.
There are several large gilded retablos in the side chapels too.
On the ceiling under the choir is a large family tree of St. Dominic. It is doubtless a little embellished.
The large front is impressive day and night.
Like all the monasteries it suffered when the state closed them and it was put to various uses: stable, military base, warehouse, etc. The church was closed to worship from the 1850's to the 1870's.
The monastery is now a cultural museum, and the grounds are a Ethnobotanic Garden. Both are excellent institutions.
The monastery has been excellently restored and maintained. Last time we were here they were finishing a newly carved retablo for a side altar and were applying gold leaf to the whole thing.
We didn't visit the museum or garden this year, having done that several times, but I think next year it will be time for both.
The community had to fight to get the military base closed and create the Ethnobotanic garden. The garden features local plants with a focus on their uses in Oaxacan culture, which can be fascinating. You need to be on a guided tour of the garden to enter and that makes sense as the guide will explain the uses of all the plants. The first time we went through we were with the Frontera Restaurant group and it really enhanced the experience to listen to the discussion between Rick Bayless and the guide.
The streets around the entrance are a focal point of Oaxacan life with music, art, crafts, food from street vendors and restaurants. It's almost always interesting to walk through the area.
For me, a visit to Oaxaca is really not complete without a visit to the area and to the church itself.

Another St. Dominic story I like that shows his bold and fearless personality, was when he encountered a bunch of heretics and warned him about his mission to preach, only to be followed up with a reply that changed their minds.
I bet he even said that with a smile

One Minute Reflection – 4 August – “The Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” – Pentecost XI – St Dominic de Guzman OP (1170-1221) Confessor, Founder –1 Corinthians 15:1-10; Mark 7:31-37 – Scripture search here: https://www.drbo.org/ “And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears and, after spitting. touched his tongue.” – Mark 7:33 REFLECTION – “The Lord heals all your ills” (Ps 102:3). Never fear, all your ills will healed. You say they are big ones but the Doctor is even greater. For an all-powerful Doctor there is no such thing as an incurable sickness. Simply let yourself be cared for, do not push away His hand, He knows what to do. Do not be happy only when He acts with gentleness but bear with it, too, when He prunes. Accept the unpleasantness of the cure, by thinking of the healing it will bring you. Notice all those things, brethren which people put up with in their physical ills, so as to prolong their lives a few days … You, at least, are not suffering for an uncertain result – He, Who has promised you your health,, cannot be mistaken. Why is it that doctors are sometimes mistaken? Because they have not created the body they are treating. But God has made your body, God has made your soul. He knows how to re-create that which He has created; He knows how to re-fashion that which He has formed. You have only to abandon yourself into His Doctor’s Hand! … Endure His Hands, then, O soul who “blesses Him and forgets not all His benefits – He heals all your ills” (P2 102:2-3).
(via One Minute Reflection – 4 August – St Augustine – ‘Your health is Christ!’ – AnaStpaul)
