“Dominic’s project took shape in a series of conversations in which he was enlightened, converted and transformed. Through these conversations Dominic gained a series of insights from the needs of the people he met and from the challenges of the situations he encountered, and the concrete response he developed took shape slowly. His response eventually was to establish communities of study, preaching, and common life. By remaining faithful to their profession Dominicans confirm the Order each day, convinced that it remains equipped to respond, in ways that are neither tiresome nor obstructive, to the needs and challenges of another new evangelisation.” Vivian Boland OP
