Wednesday was the feast of Dominican Saint Thomas Aquinas. He was 49 when he died.
It's often said in the Dominican Order that all good Dominicans die in their 40s.
Yesterday was the birthday of John O'Gorman, who was 57 when he died in 2002. Paul Hynes died at 51 in 1985.
The English Dominican Bede Jarrett once quipped: "Good Dominicans are young until they die."

A good question. Anonymous people?
And far too many of them, who do great damage to the Dominicans.
