Prayer for the Friends of St. Jude
Dear God, I can get very caught up in my own problems. After all, they are real and cause me a lot of pain. But I remember that I am part of a large human family, your family, and we all have problems. I expand my awareness to include all people, especially the many others who approach Saint Jude with their concerns. I move out of myself to embrace them in prayer and ask that your grace may flow through every one of them.

About us
The Dominican Friars, the Province of St. Albert the Great, are Roman Catholic priests and brothers. We are part of the global "Order of Preachers," the Dominican Family of priests, brothers, sisters, nuns and lay people, who live and pray today in a holy tradition that dates back to time of St. Dominic, the thirteenth century.

Our mission is to communicate the Word of God through preaching, theological education, and the promotion of justice and peace. This mission in the Body of Christ demands a vowed community life, liturgical prayer and life-long study.

Dominican Connection
Spring is the time of year when people (at least this person!) begin to think about summer vacation. Dominicans were founded as a group of itinerant preachers, that is, they were to always be ready to move, always thinking ahead. I lived in 12 homes by the time I was 12 years old. That's itinerancy! Did that prepare me for Dominican life? I think so.

Jesus
Some people who have left the Catholic Church have said that their reason was, the church is always talking about itself but it never seems to get around to talking about Jesus. If there is truth in these statements it is sad. The church is not about the church. The church is all of us striving to live more deeply the life of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of God.
