Preaching

Preaching is at the heart of the Dominican vocation. All members of the Dominican Family claim this identity. We are entrusted through baptism and the call within the Order of Preachers to announce the Word of God. This is done through many "pulpits":

• By the witness of our lives.
• By liturgical preaching.
• By pastoral ministry and catechesis.
• By the evangelization of culture.

We put our preaching at the service of the entire People of God. We promote social analysis, including theological reflection, naming both the grace and the disgrace evident in our world.

An excellent bibliography for those interested in resources on "Prophetic Biblical Preaching as a Foundation for Justice" was compiled by Gregory Heille, OP. To view or print this document, click here.

First the bow is bent in study,
Then the arrow is released in preaching.

– Hugh of St. Cher
