Dominican Nuns Ireland: Icon Course - July 2105
http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2015/08/icon-course-july-2105.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Icon Course - July 2105. We share with you some pictures from the icon course last week which Mihai Cucu conducted in our monastery - five of our sisters participated but all of us who 'kept the house going' were enriched by the beauty of the work. These pictures tell their own story - so no need of comment - but you will see how hard the iconographers worked. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 7th November 2015 - 21st January 2017. Whom do you seek? 0655 - Morning Prayer. Frida...

Dominican Nuns Ireland: Novena to St Dominic - 2015 - Day 1
http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2015/07/novena-to-st-dominic-2015-day-1.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Novena to St Dominic - 2015 - Day 1. Jesus said to His disciples: “The kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea that brings in a haul of all kinds.”. The opening words of the Gospel reading we heard today at Mass seemed to me to be a very fitting description of the Order of Preachers – and providential, that we have been given these words at the beginning of our novena to St Dominic. His vision for the Order he founded was – maybe? 8211; that it take as its pattern the...

http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Launch of the Year for Consecrated Life. Parish priest and a large crowd of local religious and laity joined us this evening for an Hour's prayer before sung Vespers - we are happy to share with our readers the opening reflection. As we gather on this first Sunday of Advent and begin this special Year for Consecrated Life, let us pause for a moment to become aware of the One in Whose Presence we are – the One who has called us by name and Who continues to call day by day.

Dominican Nuns Ireland: Novena to St Dominic 2015 - Day 4
http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2015/08/novena-to-st-dominic-2015-day-4.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Novena to St Dominic 2015 - Day 4. St Dominic and the Rosary. Today we reflect on our Dominican tradition of devotion to the Holy Rosary and we quote from a letter (September 1985) by Fr Damian Byrne OP when he was Master of the Order. The Dominican legend of the Rosary - "The barren land". Whatever critical historians may have to say about the Legend of the Rosary,. True devotion to Mary. A school of prayer. A method of preaching. St Dominic is above all the "Man of the Book....

Dominican Nuns Ireland: Novena to St Dominic 2015 - Day 2
http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2015/07/novena-to-st-dominic-2015-day-2.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Novena to St Dominic 2015 - Day 2. On this second day of our Novena in honour of St. Dominic, I cannot help calling to mind one of the great outstanding qualities of St. Dominic, namely, that of his zeal. The dictionary describes it as ’an. Intense enthusiasm for a cause’, and those belonging to the family of St. Dominic are only too well. Aware how well this description fits his intense enthusiasm for the salvation of souls. This reminds us of the words of Jesus in. 8216;the Lord ...

Dominican Nuns Ireland: March 2015
http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 8, 2015. 3rd Sunday of Lent - 2015. Destroy this sanctuary and in three days. I will raise it up . He was speaking of the sanctuary that was his body. Reading this passage in to-days Eucharist on the cleansing of the. I was struck by the intensity of Jesus’ zeal for the purity and integrity of his Father’s house. A temple of the living God, Jesus himself, who would offer to the Father the true worship in Spirit and in truth. Thro’ the mystery of the Incarnation Jesus becomes for us th...

Dominican Nuns Ireland: Novena to St Dominic 2015 - Day 7
http://dominicannunsireland.blogspot.com/2015/08/novena-to-st-dominic-2015-day-7.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Novena to St Dominic 2015 - Day 7. Pope Francis has announced that the coming year-2016 will be a year dedicated to the Mercy of God for the whole Church, and by a happy coincidance our Order is celebrating the 800th Jubilee of its foundation. Dominic could resonate with the beautiful lines from the poet on mercy and this was surely his way of thinking and his way of seeing life. The quality of mercy is not strained- -. It droppeth like the gentle dew from heaven. All which I t...
