At the centre of liturgical prayer is the Eucharist where we
enter into the heart and mind of Christ.
|
|
Linked with the celebration of the Eucharist is the Prayer of
the Church, which consists mainly of psalms and scripture passages prayed or
sung in common.
|
 |
The two main liturgical pivots, in harmony with the rhythm of the day, are
Morning and Evening Prayer.
|
 |
St Dominic loved to pray the psalms and meditate on the Word
of God in this way. As Dominican Sisters we carry on this tradition, adapting
our common prayer to the context and culture in which we live.
|
| St Dominic also loved to pray alone, often in the silence of the
night and we have eyewitness accounts of his long vigils when he brought before
God the needs of the Church and the world. |
 |
Dominic prayed constantly on his many journeys on foot. We are told that he
drew much inspiration from the Gospel of St Matthew and the Letters of St
Paul.
|
 |
|
|
Mindful of our inheritance within the Order from such great Dominicans as St
Catherine and Meister Eckhart, we seek to maintain a spirit in each community,
which will enable us to be contemplatively engaged in our world.
