Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair. – Howard Thurman

Just as parents care for their children, you should bear in mind the whole universe. – Zen Master Dogen
The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination. – John Schaar
As Psalm 118 tells us today, This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad!
Today is the 5th Sunday of Lent. Like last week, our Responsorial Psalm gives us a phrase that we can hold with us throughout the week. The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy. – from Psalm 126
Today is the 4th Sunday of Lent. What better words can we keep with us this week than those from our Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 34: Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Today is the Second Sunday of Lent. In today’s Psalm, we respond with the words, “The Lord is my light and my salvation.” What better words to repeat?! What better mantra can we find than to remind ourselves of this truth?
