worldwide mission of the Order of Preachers
Who are we ?
The Dominican family is composed of Dominican Friars, Nuns, Sisters, Laity and Youths. We share a common heritage in the spirit and charism of St. Dominic. In Kenya, we are present in Nairobi and Kisumu Archdiocese and Ngong diocese. In Uganda, we are present at Kakumiro-Kibaale and Namugongo-Kampala.
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reflecting on Matthew 16:13–20, this homily explores Peter’s declaration that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus reminds Peter that this truth comes not from human opinion but from God’s revelation. The reflection highlights three lessons: faith is rooted in God’s truth rather than popular opinion; Christ entrusted His Church with the responsibility of preserving and sharing truth and grace; and the Church belongs to Christ, not to any individual. Even when the failures of Church members cause pain or scandal, Christ remains faithful to His Church. We are invited to listen, discern and remain united in faith.
Sunday Reflections
Insights of St. Thomas Aquinas offer a profound lens through which we explore the Sunday readings. Here, we share reflections rooted in his teachings, inviting a deeper understanding of scripture and faith.
