The Dominicans of Spain closed this time of celebrations in which the figure of the saintly founder of the Order of Preachers has become more topical than ever and in which exhibitions, congresses and, above all, Eucharistic celebrations around the world have been, despite the restrictions due to the pandemic, moments of unity and reflection for the whole Dominican family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Holy Mass to close the Jubilee Year in Spain was presided over by the Apostolic Nuncio, who was accompanied by Friar C\u00e9sar Valero, Vicar of the Province of the Rosary in Spain, and Friar Jes\u00fas D\u00edaz Sariego, Prior of the Province of Hispania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Members of all the branches of the Dominican Family were present: nuns, friars, sisters, lay people, young people and members of the priestly fraternities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the Mass, Bishop Bernardito Auza defined St. Dominic de Guzman as \"....a luminous star in the middle of the Church<\/strong>was truly the light of the world. He was so, not only by his wisdom and goodness or by the works he accomplished, but by the gift he received closely united to the mother of God\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the Nuncio of His Holiness thanked the members of the Dominican family \"for the work practiced by the Dominicans\u00a0stimulating the encounter between faith and reason<\/strong>nourishing the vitality of the Christian faith and promoting the Church's mission of drawing hearts and minds to Christ, our Lord\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the celebration, the choir\u00a0Schola Antiqua<\/em><\/strong>played the Mass of St. Dominic's own, taken from the\u00a0Exemplar<\/em>a book with all the\u00a0Dominican liturgy that was made in the 13th century,<\/strong>\u00a0and of which there is a copy in the Convent of San Esteban de Salamanca.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Los dominicos de Espa\u00f1a cerraron este tiempo de celebraciones en el que la figura del santo fundador de la Orden de Predicadores ha tomado m\u00e1s actualidad que nunca y en la que exposiciones, congresos y sobre todo, las celebraciones eucar\u00edsticas en todo el mundo han sido, a pesar de las restricciones por la pandemia, momentos […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":17538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[36,41],"tags":[631,574,627],"class_list":["post-17537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualidad","category-espana","tag-ano-jubilar","tag-espana","tag-religiosos"],"yoast_head":"\n
