A Dominican friar breaks down the 3 things at the heart of Dominican spirituality

When St. Dominic de Guzmán founded the Order of Preachers in the thirteenth century, it was to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world at a time when most religious orders remained cloistered within their monasteries rather than going out into the world and preaching.

Today, given the ever-widening gap between Christian tradition and secular culture, this task of proclaiming the Gospel remains as relevant as ever—not only for the Dominicans but for every baptized Christian.

In Preachers at Prayer: Soundings in the Dominican Spiritual Tradition, priest and scholar Paul Murray walks through the subjects of prayer, study, and preaching, highlighting the deep interconnectedness of all three aspects in the life of the preacher.

Drawing on the timeless wisdom of the masters of the Dominican tradition, he demonstrates how conversion begins first in the soul of the evangelist, spreading outward from a heart on fire.
