Dominican Life

by Ferdinand D. Joret, Mediatrix Press (Contributor)

Dominican Life, by the French Dominican Joret, is a masterful treatise for Dominican Tertiaries or anyone who with an affinity for St. Dominic and his sons to seek union with the Divine Will through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Children of this family of St. Dominic, forming themselves on the traditions and examples of seven centuries, are bound together within God's Church by ties that transcend differences of race and language and are more enduring than the bonds of earthly kinship.

This book is intended as a guide and manual to teach the spirit of St. Dominic so that the reader might learn more about the Dominican Order and absorb its spirit. Although it was written for lay Dominicans, it will prove instructive and useful to all members of the Dominican Order as well as any laity interested in finding the character and spiritual charism of St. Dominic.

This book was a very insightful read, I took notes on it and found it helpful as someone who intends to make his Final Promises to become a Dominican Tertiary next year. It makes for a great and insightful overview of all aspects of the Dominican way of living. Now this book was written before the council so rules have changed, but this book does a good job of showing what heights and potential one can reach and lays out in a general manner how to get there. I recommend taking notes on this book.

A fascinating read. Gets to the heart of the Dominicans, but doesn't stop there! It expands, explains, and introduces so many aspects of Dominican Life!
