LIFE AND MISSION

Dominican Nuns               Bronx, New York

 

      Women of the Word, Dominican nuns are called to holiness of life  through communal living, profession of the evangelical counsels, private and liturgical prayer, lectio divina, study, regular monastic observance, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
 
      Zeal for the Gospel is a fire of God burning within. Faith tells us that  this unseen fire travels throughout the world giving God's strength  and power to the words and deeds of all their Dominican brothers and sisters in the active ministry.
 
     The nuns unite themselves closely with the great compassionate heart of St  Dominic. Their intercessory prayer becomes one with his cry: "Lord  Jesus, what is to become of poor sinners!"
