As Dominicans

             we respond to the call

                                       to preach the Good News,

                          celebrating how God is already present, and

                          proclaiming Jesus to those

                                       who do not know him.

 

We strive to see and reflect

             Christ contemplating and teaching,

             Christ forgiving and healing,

             Christ transforming the world

                          through the power of His Spirit.

 

We commit our time, our talents, and our lives

             to share the love and forgiveness of Jesus,

             to promote justice and peace, and

             to build community among all peoples.

Ministry

Confident in God’s mercy

             we participate in Christ’s reconciling work

                          in the world.

 

In responding to persons

                          whose lives we touch,

             we rejoice in receiving their gifts as well as

                          in sharing our gifts with them.

 

We recognize and receive Christ in His human condition

             in this person,

             in this neighborhood,

             in this city, and

             in this hour of salvation history.
