Dominic, Preacher of Grace

DOMINIC, PREACHER OF GRACE

Dominic dreamed a world
Freed from war and violence,
Winnowed of greed and falsehood,
Mirroring truth and goodness
In every sphere of life.
Dominic preached in Spirit power,
Filled with compassion and mercy,
Visioning many grace-filled followers,
Men and women of the Word,
Preachers ablaze with God’s dream.
Dominic walked the way,
Reaching out to new frontiers
With steady torch of truth held high,
Steeped in prayer day and night,
Releasing streams of light.
An unexpected future
Lies in wait for those who live
Deeply rooted and formed in the Word,
Watered by God’s abundant grace,
Daily living Dominic’s dream.
PENTECOST PEOPLE,
Preachers of Grace in our time,
Beaming the blessings
Of our Loving and Faithful God.

Preaching is at the heart of the Dominican vocation. The Dominican Leadership Conference claims for all members of the Dominican Family the right to preach, and commits itself to the struggle this claim entails. The injustices of our day compel us to place the charism of preaching at the service of the poor and powerless. The Dominican prophetic message, rooted in experience, study and prayer, will move both preachers and hearers of the word to act for the transformation of oppressive structures. The Conference on its part will act corporately, confronting evil with the Gospel and working for the construction of a just world order.
We embrace the mission of preaching for justice with a commitment to act in collaboration with one another and all those with and among whom we minister
