The Four Pillars of Dominican Spirituality.
The First Pillar of Dominican Spirituality;
PRAYER:
Domincan prayer is contemplative, which means that it is not limited to metal meditative deliberations but leads to total acquiescence in the presence of God as St. Dominic showed us in his nine ways of prayer.
The Second Pillar of Dominican Spirituality;
STUDY:
The study of the Word of God is an aid to prayer but in itself also becomes an act of worship which sanctifies us.
The Third Pillar of Dominican Spirituality;
Community:
To preach the kingdom of God we must live it, so that preaching and living in Christian community are inseparably joined.
The Fourth Pillar of Dominican Spirituality;
MISSION:
We have as our vocation to radiate the presence of Christ in the midst of all, so that divine message of salvation is known and accepted by everyone.
St. Dominic, Pray for us.
