Anniversary
of the
Deceased Members
of the
Dominican Order

November 8

We remember and we celebrate today the lives of all our Sisters and Brothers who have gone before us into eternal life in Christ. While the Church recognizes publicly some as Saints, others are known to us in the Order as those who entered into the Heart of Christ after faithful, unheralded lives in the footsteps of St. Dominic.

Remembering the promise in Scripture, we pray that they now see Christ face-to-face, as He really is: burning Love, joyful Heart, Risen Son who is the Way. May we remember today how we loved them and how they loved us and ask their prayers as we carry on the preaching, all the while longing to see God’s face. Through us, their heirs in Dominic, may the preaching continue.
