Dear Friend

Godrsquos blessings and peace be with

you as the month the Church

dedicates to St Joseph quickly

draws to a close Fortunately like

St Joseph the qu iet time we have

spent attending to the Word of

God in these initial weeks of Lent

through prayer fasting and almsgiving prepares

us for new graces not yet imagined

St Joseph was blessed by God to be the Guardian

of the Holy Family because he w as open to receive

the messa ges o f the ange l in his dreams This

ldquoopennessrdquo in sleep flowed from his virtuous and

just life during the day Indeed such a righteous

life w ith decision made for the good of Mary the

Son of God whom she carried in her womb and for

her parents w as done quietly It took a man of

great strength and

moral character to act

beyond what the Law

permitted for

satisfaction St

Joseph was not

consumed by the

darkness of shame

but stood in the light

of true love of another As he lived

his life quietly as w as

his way he received

the revelation beyond

his imagining in the

quiet and secure

slumber of the Lord

As the Universal

Patron of the Church

St Joseph continues

to intercede for us so

that we too may grow

in virtue and be

attentive to the Word

of God in quiet ways

Did not Jesus s ay ldquoThen your Father who sees

wha t is done in secret will rew ard you (Matt 64

6 18)rdquo Relying on the successful intercession o f

St Joseph we are hoping to establish a shrine in

his honor to promote the virtues o f his quiet way I

will speak to you more about that in future

communications In the meantime I invite you to

reflect on the quiet wa y of St Joseph a s he

responded to the Word o f God in his life in my

reflection which marked the Patronal Feast Day of

our Province St Joseph the Husband o f Mary

(March 19)

Before moving

on to the many

good w orks God

is accomplishing

through the

Dear Colleague

witness to the fruit that is bornfrom our faithful collaboration

with the Friars in the missionthat we the laity share withthem

The Providence (RI) Journalon Ash

Wednesday quoted Br Austin Litke OP

who explained that the meaning of Lent is

for each one of us to become more deeply

configured to the person o f Jesus Christ in

His life death a nd resurrectionrdquomdashnot merely

about giving things up to show how lsquotough

Nonetheless giving up something especially

something that costs money is a worthy

pursu it during Lent Fr Pius Pie trzyk OP

Church in Zanes ville OHmdashtold his local NBC

affiliate ldquoDont spend it on yourse lf but

A New Resource for Preaching

I am pleased to announce that our Friars have

launched a new service called ldquoPreacherrsquos

Sketchbookrdquo a rich compilation o f resources to

enrich homilies

available not only

to Friars in the US

and throughout

the English-

speaking w orld

but diocesan

priests and

religious as we ll

The ldquoSketchbookrdquo

features s cholarly

resources as well

as rich quotations from theo logians and Church

leaders past and present all pertaining to the

readings and the Gospel of a particular Sunday

Lay people too can benefit from exploring thismaterial and preparing themselves for a more in-

depth experience o f the Liturgy Please click

here to discover the ldquoPreachersrsquo Sketchbookrdquo for

the Fourth Sunday in Lent April 3 The First

Second and Third Sundays of Lent can also be

reviewed

Each and every homily that is preached is an

opportunity for the preacher to rea ch and touch

hea rts to offer a moment of encounter for each

person with Christ and His Saving Truth Do you

know a priest or deacon who could benefit from this

resource Would you like to better prepare for

Sunday Mass Please share this with your parish

priests and those w ho would like to deepen the ir

experience of the Liturgy For more information

please contact us at dfopfriarsorg

The ldquoPrea cherrsquos Sketchbookrdquo is an example of the

Dominicans sharing their particular gift their

special charism of preaching The Dominicans

continue to assume a growing role in the Church

at home and abroad

Papal Tribute

In this light the Friars were supremely grateful

with the honor

bestowed on

the Order when

Pope Benedict




XVI celebrated the Ash Wednesday Liturgy in the

Basilica of Santa Sabina in Rome which has been a

Dominican tradition for centuries (For more on this

magnificent occasion and the history of the

basilica please click here)

In his new book

ldquoJesus of

Nazareth Part

IIrdquo Benedict XVI

spoke of the

ministry of both

St Francis and

St Dominic

during the 12th

and 13th

centuries as

ldquoone way in

which Christ entered anew into history

commun icating His word and His love with fresh

vigor It was one way in which He renewed His

Church and drew his tory toward Himself

At a general a udience last January the Pope

credited the tw o saints w ith being ldquoable toread lsquothe

signs of

the

timesrsquo

intelligently perceiving the challenges tha t

the Church of their time w ould be ob liged to

facerdquo including the ldquow idespread need hellip for

religious instructionrdquo Today too the Holy

Spirit is responding to the most urgent

needs of our (global) culture and indeed of

each pe rson which I spoke of in my Missive

last month echoing our Ho ly Father ndash the

need not for food and clothing but for God

The Holy Spirit as is evidenced more and

more is calling forth the Dominican charism

to address this need

In February Benedict XVI said that St

Dominic ldquoreminds us that a missionary fire

must always burn in the heart of the

Churchrdquomdasha quality that in the past 50 years

sharply declined bu t that is happily again on

the rebound thanks to the New

Evange lization in which todayrsquos Friars are

graced by God to play a crucial role

Pope John Paul II also w as a friend of the

Dominicans He studied under the famous

Dominican

theologian

and author

Fr Reginald

Garrigou-

Lagrange

OP and his

thought and

teaching we re greatly influenced by hisstudy of St Thomas Aquinas OP One o f our

distinguished Board Directors former

Ambassa dor Ray

Flynn who

represented the US

at the Vatican




during the first

Clinton

Administration

recently reflected

while speaking at a

parish ded ication in

Boston that John

Paulrsquos ldquope rsonal kindness to my family will

be w hat I w ill always be most g rateful forrdquo

He urged young people to remember the

Pontiffrsquos ldquovery positive impactrdquo in spea king

out ldquoon issueshellipand remind(ing) us aboutthe d ignity of every personrdquo

Following in the footsteps of St Dominic

mdashPreaching Teaching and Leadership Roles

A Resource for Parishes

This year on Nov 27 2011 the First Sunday of

Advent a new

English

translation of

the Mass w ill

go into effect--

a momentous

occasion in the

life of the

Church This

translation is being carried out by the

Congregation of Divine Worsh ip and the Discipline

of the Sacraments of which Archbishop Augustine

Joseph DiNoia OP a Friar of our Province is

Secretary

The new translation explains Fr Darren P ierre

OP uses loftier language a nd sometimes even

uncommon vocabularymdashwith words that were

chosen not because they we re the easiest options

for us but because they were the most worthy

options for Godrdquo He also discusses the sheerdifficulty of translating liturgical language in a w ay

that does full justice to the ancient original he

touches upon changes that have provoked

particular criticism and those that w ill confront us

more powe rfully with the need for Godrsquos

forgiveness Fr Pierre is the Provincersquos Promoter

for the Lay and P riestly Fraternities o f St Dominic

(If you would like to know more about the

Fraternities of Saint Dominic please sign up for

Our Friars

have begun to

publish a

series of

pamphlets

mdashwritten

spe cifically for

use in the

parish

mdashpreviewing

and explaining

the Churchrsquos

thinking

behind the new translation The first pamphlet is

now available online

A Dominican Friar is also

playing a pivotal role

with respect to the Latin

or Tridentine Mas s

Italian Dominican Fr

Vincenzo M Nuara OP




has been charged with a

momentous

responsibility Last year

he was a ppointed to

Pontifical Commission

Ecclesia Dei The

commission has the task

of implementing the Holy

Fathers decree Summorum Pontificum which

paved the way for the celebration of the Latin or

Tridentine Mass To rea d more p lease click here

If these are ministries a t the highes t levels of

Church life the Friars are deeply committed to

witness Christrsquos love to all people in all walks of

life from youth to the poor in the developing

world to whom we minister to those behind bars

both physical and psychological those imprisoned

by the regnant ideologies of their governments to

non-believers In this the Dominicans of whom it

is said are ldquoe xperts in humanityrdquo minister in their

preaching to every aspect of life

This impulse is at the hea rt of Fr Eric Salob ir

OPrsquos project He will launch a new

website just before th is springrsquos

Beatification of the late Pope John Pa ul II

Visitors will be able to ask short ques tions

and qu ickly receive compact video answ ers

from a priest The initiative should be a

strong draw for young pe ople in pa rticular

be inspired and

The handmaiden o f Theology is Philosophy

which is also at the

hea rt of the life of the

Order wh ich counts

St Cathe rine of

Alexandria a martyr

of Philosophy for the

medieval Church The

Pope recently

affirmed the importance

of the study of

Philosophymdashespecially

Metaphys icsmdash in the

theo logical formation o f

priests

For Dominicans of course the study of

Metaphysics is rooted in Thomism and

Scholasticism the school of thought given

shape by St Thomas Aquinas OP In his

review of a ne w book on scholasticism Fr

Thomas Joseph White OP a Profess or of

Theology at the PFIC makes it clear how

relevant ldquothis supposedly dry and dusty

thing called Scholasticismrdquo is in our ow n day

important Catho licphilosopher as we

grapple with the

difficult questions of
