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.
Third Sunday - Year A
The readings of the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, remind us that darkness is not only the absence of light but a symbol of confusion, division, suffering, and life without God’s guidance. Into this reality, God sends His Son, Jesus Christ, the true Light of the world. His presence brings hope, healing, and salvation, dispelling fear and restoring unity. As Jesus calls the first disciples to follow Him, He also invites us today to become bearers of His light through patience, perseverance, courage, and humility. In every form of darkness, God’s light shines, assuring us that we never walk alone.
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.
