Dominic, Preacher of Grace
by Brenda Walsh, OP, Racine, Wisconsin
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,
caressed by compassion and mercy ,
visioning many grace-filled followers,
men and women of the Word,
ablaze with God’s dream.
Dominic walked the way,
reaching out to new frontiers
with steady torch of truth held high,.
steeped in prayer night and day,
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 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 ------Dominican Leadership Conference (The latest additions are shown first.
