| | Dominican Order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Order of Preachers (Ordo Praedicatorum), more commonly known as the Dominican Order, or Dominicans is a Catholic religious order. | | | In England and some other countries the Dominicans are referred to as Blackfriars on account of the black cappa or cloak they wear over their white habits, just as the Carmelites are known as "Whitefriars" for the same reason. | | | Such is the Biblical school at Jerusalem, open to the religious of the Order and to secular clerics, and which publishes the Revue Biblique. |

| | Thomas P. Rausch: What Is Dominican Priesthood? |
| | The preaching mission was derived from the exempt character of the order's priests as evangelical assistants to the bishops and the pope, rather than from the responsibility of bishops and pastors to preach or to see that sermons were preached in their churches. | | | Dominican priesthood is the priesthood of an apostolic religious order and should be understood as such. | | | [and] is principally ordered to consecrating the body of Christ and dispensing it to the faithful, and to cleansing the faithful from their sins. |

| | The Order of Preachers is the organization in a religious institution of the apostolic function of the Church. | | | Dominicans do so in a thousand ways, according to their own particular vocations, according to circumstances, and necessarily according to their weaknesses. | | | The Dominican does not divide lightly, he does not reduce to extremely simple schemes, he does not bring things which are infinitely rich and which exceed the understanding to one of their aspects. |

| | The vocation of the Order is to proclaim Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls. | | | The presence of the Catholic Church was again tolerated from 1843, and Orders of Monks from the beginning of this Century (The Jesuits from 1956!). | | | In stead of going out to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, their vocation is to work for the salvation of the world through prayer and worship, in penance and renunciation and in seeking to live as a reconciled sisterhood. |

| | Dominican Friars |
| | What the Dominican Order has given to the Church in past centuries, and what it can offer her in the future is vital and necessary, because its mission, entrusted by her - the mission to proclaim the Gospel - touches her own origins and inner being. | | | It is the Order's high duty to preach, to be concerned with preaching, to wish it to be done in the best way possible, to be distressed when it is not being done, sad when it is not being done well, disappointed when another message is announced in place of God's word. | | | It will ever be the Order's duty to prepare the way for the coming or deepening of faith in those who hear the message. |

| | What is a Dominican? |
| | The First Order, the Dominican priests and brothers, preach Christ crucified (the Way for us all, the Truth and the Life) and teach theology to religious and laity, in missions, colleges, seminaries, and parish churches. | | | Third Order members live in, but are not of, the world: sanctifying their secular vocations by offering all to and for Our Lord; interspersing their daily work with prayer, study, contemplation, and praise; approaching others with love as they share the Truth which the fathers preach. | | | The first, obvious answer is that a Dominican is a follower of St. Dominic, a member of the Order of Preachers which he founded in the early 13th century to combat the evils of the age by preaching God's truth. |

| | Dominican Spirituality |
| | That is one of the corner-stones of Dominican spirituality. | | | Dominic founded his Order to preach the true faith in the face of deep ignorance and misunderstanding about what we Christians should believe. | | | But we Dominicans do stress that devotion and prayer should be rooted in a sound understanding of the mysteries of our faith, and should not be based on ephemeral flights of fantasy, of dubious value. |

The pillars of Dominican life are, briefly: truth, study, community, public prayer, personal prayer, virtue, and apostolate. | | | Pope Benedict XV "We hope that the ranks of the Third Order [Dominicans] will gather numerous young men and women who, without having a religious vocation, aspire to a more perfect Christian life, who aspire to make a more complete gift of themselves." |

| | The Master of the Dominican Order |
| | It is said that the Dominican Order is unique in the Church in that every single Dominican friar, once he has taken solemn vows, has a legitimate voice in the Order ranging from the election of a local superior (a prior) to the possibility of electing the Master of the Order. | | | As the Dominicans go forward with a new successor to St. Dominic, we do so encouraged greatly by the words of the Holy Father himself: | | | The gift of the Orderóto preachóis to open hearts and to open minds.î (National Catholic Register) Azpiroz Costa continued on to say that we need to preach the Truth, not as a collection of concepts, but as the person of Jesus Christ. |

| | Catholic World News : Pope Voices Confidence in Dominican Order |
| | VATICAN, Jul 11, 01 (CWNews.com) -- Pope John Paul II (bio - news) has sent a message to the leaders of the Dominican order, who are meeting this week at a chapter general that will elect the 85th successor to St. Dominic, who founded the Order of Preachers in 1215. | | | The Pope called upon the Dominicans, therefore, to counteract the "moral confusion" which is manifest today in the failure to recognize the inherent dignity of human life. | | | Although that particular heresy has died away, the Pontiff observed, "the ancient afflictions of the human soul and the great untruths never die but lie hidden for a time, to reappear later in other forms." Today, he said, the denial of Christ's Incarnation can be seen in any lines of contemporary thought. |
