Catching Fire From Dominic's Vision
Celebrating 800 Years of Dominican Life
The Order of Preachers—one of the few religious movements known by its mission rather than by its founder. That is so like Dominic, always about the mission. We are so blessed to be identified as the Order of Preachers—people who spend our lives proclaiming good news. God knows, the world needs to hear good news. We all need to know that we are light for the world, salt for the earth. We need to know that, in spite of all the pain around us, there is hope. There is truth. We need to be reminded over and over again that God entered into our world and became one of us and walked among us and laughed and cried and suffered and died for us because God loves us more than we can imagine . . . and that’s good news, isn’t it!
