Dear Friend

The Lordrsquos blessings be w ith

you and those you hold dear as

we find comfort in the mate rnal

embrace o f the Virgin Mary towhom this month is dedicated

As all the faithful continue to

experience the joys of the

Easter se ason may all of us

draw particular strength a nd

inspiration from the momentous

occasion that began the month the bea tification of Pope

John Paul II This towe ring figure of faith and e xample of

utter commitment to Godrsquos work wa s a loyal student a nd

friend of the Friars Often he drew attention to our

Founde r St Dominic and the Orderrsquos tradition and mission

through the agesmdashnot least

our firm belief in the power of

reason the human intellect

to d emonstrate the existence

of God in an age of

indifference disbelief and

nihilism It is one crucial

aspect of our contribution to

the New Evangelization called

for by the late P ontiff

During these weeks leading

up to P entecost the first reading at Mass focused our

attention on the Acts of the Apostles What have w e

heard The very beginnings of the Church are rooted in

Christrsquos promise that the

ldquopromise of the Fathe rrdquo

the Ho ly Spirit wou ld be

given to the apos tles By

faithfully preaching Jesus

Christ this band of

apostolic missionaries is

the channel of grace for

many Jews and Gentiles

Their hearts were on fire

with the love of Christ

The peace o f Christ

flowing from His

Resurrection comforted

them as the y fearlessly

and at g reat personal risk

preached and taught allthat Christ had

commanded them

In countless wa ys we

continue to live tha t first springtime in the life of the

Church We too are called to evange lize todayrsquos peoples

Dear Colleague

we can be engaged insome faith-formationactivity at our parish This indeed is a great

blessing for our lives which we know is notthe same experience

for many but is in factrather the exception The expansion andleveraging of thepreaching mission of the Friars through

various media istherefore not simply anadditional project thatthey are undertaking assome sort of noveladditional activity It israther an imperativeand essentialcomponent in thestrategy and mission of the New Evangelization Let us do all we can tosupport them inleveragingexponentially the reachand effectiveness of their preaching missionndash which we share withthem through ourBaptism - through the

website and outreachthrough various mediaIn this way together

with the Friars we willanswer our commoncall to Go into all the

world and preach thegood news to every creaturerdquo Mark 1615 Thank you for your

we are exhorted to tirelessly and fearlessly preach Jesus

Christ to people who have become indifferent dismissive

and hos tile to faith In this act of faithful witness we also

will come to a deeper understanding and a ppreciation of

the great gift of faith we ha ve received

Literally and figuratively through a grow ing range of

ministries guided by the New Evangelization the Friars of

the P rovince of St Joseph a re fanning out throughout the

land their hearts burning with love of Christ and bringing

mdashcollaborating w ith us and empowe ring us to carry out

Godrsquos vital invitation first made to St Dominic to prea ch

Jesus Christ pe rfectly to all For this all the Friars are

profoundly grateful to you

On a pas toral visit to Venice Italy Pope Bened ict XVI

ea rlier this month called atten tion to a pa rticularly

essential aspect of our common mission the re-

evangelization of a Christian community whose faith

mdashuntested by the ldquopersecutions and the most d ifficult

trialsrdquo of ages pastmdashldquoruns the risk of being emptied of its

truth and its dee pest elements It runs the risk of

becoming a

perspective tha t

only touches life

superficially in the

aspe cts that are

just social and

culturalrdquo

This superficial

faith is wha t

happens says the

Holy Father when

people still

consider

themselves to be

Christians and go

through the

motions of faith

even attending

Mass ldquobut ceas e

to be lieve in the

power and the living presence of the Lordrdquo This is

precisely the preaching task of the Friars to restore a

sense of a tangible relationship w ith Christ an

ldquoexpe rience of faith in Jesus crucified and risenrdquo tha t can

ldquoenlighten the path of e xistencerdquo through faith and reas on

which leads to an e arnest reconciliation to Christ and

neighbor

The New Evangelization is not fundamentally a matter of

programs or long discourses about Christ It is a renew al

in the faithfulrsquos relationship with Jesus Christ that makes a

difference in the ir lives and in the lives o f others who

witness the ir faith The invitation of the Acts of the

Apostles continues today ldquoto put on the Lord Jesus C hrist

(Rom 1314)rdquo

Thanks to your indispensable generosity and friendship

the Friars through the ir fidelity to preaching the Word of

God and to the solemn celebration of the Eucharist are

fulfilling a ministry that as the Ho ly Fathe r puts it

ldquorestores to us the e yes of faith so a s to se e e verything

and e veryone w ith the eyes of God and the light of His

loverdquo and truly puts Ch rist in the ldquocente r of [our] livesrdquo

The Making of a Saint

A fine example of the Friarsrsquo growing presence in the

media was the appearance last month of Fr Gabriel

Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in

Washington DC discussed his work as a Vatican-trained

founded the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne a

Congregation committed to the care of cancer patients

Saints are flesh and blood human beings

Fr OrsquoDonne ll says his wo rk has taught him that ldquoo ne

only becomes a saint through strugglerdquo and real

suffering not through some miraculous instant

warts and all ldquoTo have intimacy with God doesnrsquot

mean los ing your own pe rsona lityrdquo sa ys the Friar

Living Our Ladyrsquos

Gracesrdquo He

reflected on the

central role of Our

Lady in the history

of salvation

echoing what

Pope Benedict XVI

said many years ago that in her ldquocourage and obediencerdquo

the Virgin is ldquoan example to w hich every Christian hellip can

and should lookrdquo in our own striving for holiness

Fr Cameron e xplains that Ma ry ldquolooking at our ne eds is

alwa ys acting on ou r beha lfrdquo As the Angel Gabriel called

her ldquoFull of Gracerdquo so the Virgin is the mediatrix of all

graces that come to us says the Friar thus initiating us in

ldquoa bond of friendship and loverdquo w ith her thatrsquos po we rful

as the d riving force in the life of the Order As with a ll the

sa ints it is important to bea r in mind tha t St Dominic too

wa s a real person a living and breathing human being

whom we are a ll invited to discover in intimate friendship

In this regard I call your attention to an e xcerpt from

ldquoDominican Spirituality Principles and Practice rdquo by Father

William Aquinas Hinnebusch OP which cites accounts by

Blessed Cecilia a Dominican Sister who received her habit

from St Dominic himself

Her descriptions of the

person of St Dominic their

accuracy borne out

centuries later by s cientific

research can serve to help

the faithful approach the

saint in prayer She wrote

ldquoHis hands w ere long and

handsome a nd his voice

powerful and sonorous

and he w as always joyous

and smiling except w hen
