From the Master: Days of Prayer & Penance

(Please read all the way to the bottom)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Here is a request from the Master of the Order to participate in a “Triduum of Penance”, from October 4-6 (See details below). Each community (chapter) can determine the type of communal penance that they want to practice.

This is a beautiful proposal. And since it is a request from our Master, to the entire Order, I strongly encourage every chapter and member to participate. Everyone can perform some sort of penance. Our world and Church needs your prayers and sacrifices.
On this feast of the Holy Name of Mary, let’s give Her the gift of our fiat!

May Our Mother Mary bless you with many graces,

Denise

Dear Brother Provincials and Vice Provincials ; dear brothers and sisters of the Dominican Family,

Here is this new proposal – from an idea of the Promoter of the Rosary – in these delicate times. Please send it to the members of your entity/region.    On this day when we commemorate the Holy Name of Mary, and invoking her protection on the Order,

Fraternally,

fr. Gerard Timoner, OP

____________________________________________________

Upon recommendation of our Holy Rosary Chapter council, our chapter will implement these specific actions:

October 4-6:

  • Fasting and Abstinence (with the regular rules regarding fasting according to your state in life)
  • Daily Rosary with these intentions (plus your own): in suffrage for those who died during the pandemic; for the intentions of their bereaved families; for those who continue to suffer the effects of the pandemic; for those who work to alleviate their suffering. Also all of the above intentions for those affected by the wildfires, and that the civil unrest will come to a just resolution and lasting peace.
  • Pray the Litany of Dominican Saints and Blesseds.
