OP Feast Day

Today we faithfully remember "those who have gone before us in the family of Saint Dominic and who offer us the example of their way of life, their company in the communion of saints, and the help of their intercession.  By this celebration may we be moved to imitate them and be strengthened in the spirit of our vacation."  [LCO, nn. 16,67]
