film is about a man, used by God to help and serve people especially those who are hungry and particularly affected by the war between Christians and Moors. All through his inspiring experiences and trials, there are lessons that give us explanation and a much wider point of view on how to be a good servant not only to others but also to God.
Dominic de Guzman was born in Calarago, Spain, in 1170. His parents were Joan of Anza and Felix de Guzman. Before his mother conceived him, she saw in an idea that a dog with a flaming torch in its mouth would come out from her womb and set the world passionate.
First, St. Dominic’s humility. He is very humble that even if he did a very small or simple fault, he asks forgiveness to the person that he made mistake to. Even if he becomes a priest on the former 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.
Second 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.
Third, St. Dominic thought us is his selflessness. He doesn’t care anymore to himself, and help all the people who need to be fed and preach to give them enlightenment. He shows that man should help one another especially in the times that we need to help and comfort each other. He even gave his rosary, which is given by his uncle, to a boy when he is travelling with other preachers and priests.
The life of Saint Dominic, works and death were marked by quiet piety and unceasing devotion to the hard work of spreading the Gospel during a turbulent time. He believed in education because an educated person could read the Bible and Dominic had no doubt would then make the informed decision to switch to Catholicism.
