Community

As Dominican Sisters

             we choose to support one another daily

                          with the trust, understanding, and challenge

                                       we each need

                          for personal and communal growth and

                          for effectiveness in ministry.

 

Our communal observances are expressions

             of the unity we seek through dialogues

                          in which diversity of gifts and

                                       of points of view

                          are brought to complement each other.

 

Mutual participation

                          in a life of prayer and penance

             enables us to acknowledge our sinfulness,

                                       to accept our limitations, and

                                       to be compassionate

                                                    in the face of weakness

                                                                 wherever it is met.
