A Table Set for Study
St. Dominic dedicated his life to study.
He believed that if he was to refute the errors of the heretics,
it was essential that his message not simply be a moral message of his own understanding.
What was needed in order for God's truth to be defended
was to have "accurate and profound knowledge of scripture and church teaching."
(Paul Murray, OP. New Wine of Dominican Spirituality, 85)
Lay Dominicans follow in this path and make study an integral part of their lives:
"For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man,
but men spoke from God
as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."
(2 Peter 1:21)
For Lay Dominicans, as with all Dominicans, study and formation are a lifelong process.
Lay Dominicans share the fruits of their contemplation and discuss their thoughts
during Study portions of annual retreats and monthly meetings.
