St. Dominic's Feast Day

[Ave Maria Totus Tuus]

So I know our wonderful Vocation Station is chock-full of Dominican lovers.

Any of you, lay or religious, planning on doing anything special in honor of our wonderful Saint Dominic?

[Deus te Amat]

[Lioness For Christ]

I sadly am not currently in Nashville, because if I was I'd be partying-it-up with the Nashville Dominicans! They really know how to have a good time on big feast days, especially St. Dominic's. All I've got nothing planned for myself except Mass and a Rosary... I need some ideas too!

[Deus te Amat]

oh i wish i were in Nashville!!! anyone wanna set up an emergency nun run? please?


mass... that would be so nice.....

hmm...

we should plan topray a certain prayer at the same time in honor of him, and his teachings and all those following his lifestyle.. perhaps?

[Ora et Labora]

i'll go on an emergency nun run!! i've bever been to the nashville dominicans...and i'm dying to go!

[VeniteAdoremus]

Me too

In the meantime... I might have an ice cream in his honour Oh, and I just changed my pink bedsheets for black and white, does that count?

No, seriously, I brought my breviary to the lab today for the feast. But I haven't used it yet

[Totus Tuus]

I went to Mass

Well... I go to (work at) a Dominican school... and we're celebrating with Mass and an ice-cream social (it's also a going-away party).

Did you get a copy of their August e-newsletter? It was so delightful and full of wonderful "Dominic" things.

Yesterday, I put on a black and white skirt and thought to myself "I have to save this for tomorrow!" So I swapped that skirt with a blue one and I'm wearing all black and white today! :

[alicemary]

Happy Feast Day to all! Special thoughts go out to our Summit Dominicans and their chock full novitiate. Believe me when I tell you, cloistered nuns know how to make the day very special.

A VERY HAPPY AND BLESSED FEAST DAY TO ALL DOMINICANS.

[Deus te Amat]

turns out i CAN go to mass today ...

and a vocations dinner....

yay st. dominic!!!!

i'm also going to go to adoration in honor of his feastday and pray over my discernment.... i'd go anyway, but now i have an excuse

[Sr Mary Catharine OP]

We had the entire CFR novitiate over for Mass. It's a tradition that the FRANKS and DOGS get together on this day as we BOTH consider St. Dominic AND St. Francis OUR HOLY FATHER.

Then we talked and talked and someone gave us a lucious chocolate cake for Dinner!

We have the A/C on in choir ALL DAY! That's a treat!

Most of all, we sing the office of St. Dominic in great solemnity! We just enjoy being together.

If it were cooler we'd play a game outside but it's too humid! Maybe this afternoon we'll play "Miniature pool'! I'm not kidding! It's a table top pool table! It's great fun! Just my speed.

HAPPY FEAST TO ALL! THANKS ALICE MARY for your greetings!

Yep, the Franciscans also consider him their Holy Father. I think that's pretty cool - and visa versa with the Dominicans and St. Francis.

[Ave Maria Totus Tuus]

Yay, I love all the responses! I'm wearing white today. Sr. Mary Catharine, so awesome how you converge with the Franciscans today! Talk about two incredible men in Sts. Francis and Dominic.

Yes, I did get the most recent Nashville Dominicans, full of Dominic goodness indeed!

On a side note, if any of you are ever planning to visit the Nashville Dominicans, PLEASE let me know! I'd love to come meet you, as I still have yet to meet any phatmassers in person. I know they've announced their retreat schedule for this year,[url="http://www.nashvilledominican.org/News/Retreat%20Schedule/Index.htm"] check it[/url]. I'll definitely be on the first Jesu Caritas weekend this October.

Yay Dominicans!!!!!!

I was there this past May--it's amazing how far the motherhouse has come in one year since the end of the construction.

Do you know when the sisters receive the habit and make vows? Two girls from St. Louis will have new names! And a friend of mine from grade school is making first vows. It's very exciting!

[Deus te Amat]

this is random, but do you know Sister Teresa Anne? she just left the Novitiate and is now a full sister

Yes I think I remember the face/name.... yes, I just checked on their website (she's one of the sisters under Community-Sister Profiles). She left the novitiate? Many prayers, may she walk with God always.

[Deus te Amat]

The postulants received the Holy Habit of St. Dominic on July 27th. Final vows were on July 29th, and First Vows on July 30th. Sadly, I was out of the country!!! I still have yet to attend a vow ceremony. I've emailed Sr. Mary Emily to see how everything went, but she hasn't responded. It's a VERY busy time for them now, not only with all the cermonies and schools starting up again, but also the Knights of Columbus Convention is in Nashville right now, with thousands of Knights and their families converging on Nashville, along with a hundred Bishops and Cardinals and even more priests, AND Cardinal Bertone, the Vatican Secretary of State!

I've been keeping track of it all on my blog, [url="http://malaroux.blogspot.com"]This is for Glory[/url]. Check it out!
