Today, in the 1962 Dominican Rite Calendar, we celebrate the feast of All Saints of the Dominican Order. The feast is II Class and so the semi-festive office of Sunday is prayed and we make a commemoration of the feast at Lauds.
How truly humbling it is to be part of a religious Order which includes over 30 saints, 3 Doctor's of the Church, innumerable martyrs and 4 Popes. Not only are these holy men and women, drawn from every station in life, models of sanctity for us, they are powerful intercessors for us before the heavenly throne of our loving God and Father. The litany of the Dominican Saints can be downloaded here.
