Today, August 8, is the feast of St Dominic. Dominic, a Spaniard, who lived from 1170 to 1221, founded the Dominican Order.
A pivotal aspect of the Order is the preaching of the Gospel in a language that is accessible to people. In other words to talk about the Gospel in a way that makes sense.
In 1968 there were over 400 members in the Irish Province of the Order. Today there are 170 Irish Dominicans.
Back in 1968 did the 400 Dominicans preach a Gospel that made sense? Today do the 170 preach the Word of God in such a way that it is accessible to the Christian community?
