Guest: Fr. Darrin Piere O.P.
Saint of the Day: St. Dominic
Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with Fr. Darrin Piere, the prior of the Dominican Community at St. Gertrude's in Cincinnati, Ohio. Fr. Darrin shared the story of how St. Dominic formed the Dominican Order. St. Dominic held to the maxim, "contemplata tradere," in English, "Contemplate and share the fruits of your contemplation." The order of St. Dominic strives to enrich and enlighten their minds so that they may then share it with the world around them. St. Gertrude's Parish in Cincinnati is unique as they also house the Dominican Novitiate where the men who are in their first year of study go to learn the life of St. Dominic. Fr. Darrin shared with us that today several brothers will be taking their habit. Pray for the Dominicans everywhere.
