This week on the Light of Truth Fr. Luuk Jansen O.P. looks at some ways in relation to the following of Jesus. In Matthew 19:16 - 19:22 a young man asks Jesus what he should do in addition to holding the commandments, and Jesus tells him to sell everything and follow him. Is this a particular vocation, or is it a general call. Fr. Luuk looks at some of the different aspects.

When talking about with people about the vocation to religious life, and specifically the Dominican Life, one of the recurring questions is what a day in the life of a Dominican Brother is like. So we took a camera into our Studium in Dublin to give a taste of what the day in the life of a student brother of the Dominican Order is like.

Naturally the routine for the brothers who have completed their studies the day is slightly is different as they go about their own ministries. But the general structure, where communal prayers form the hinges of the day would be what constitutes the fundamental aspect of a day as a Dominican brother.

Our Studium, the place where we do our theological formation, is located in St. Saviour's Priory, Dublin 1, Ireland.

If you would like to know more about the vocation as a Dominican, contact the Vocation Director on [email protected].

Four of our brothers made their First Profession into the Dominican Order on the 15th of September, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. The The novices who have spend the last year in our Noviciate in Cork have now made their First Profession. The next step in their life as a Dominican is to go to our Studium which is St. Saviour’s priory in Dublin. There they will study philosophy and theology in the coming years.

We congratulate brothers Gary Toman O.P., Ruaidhri Grieve O.P., Peter O’Kane O.P. and Ciaran Egan O.P. on their commitment as they continue their formation within the Dominican Order in the coming years.
