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.
22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
The readings for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time invite us to reflect on the cost of following Christ. Through the experience of Prophet Jeremiah, we see that remaining faithful to God’s truth can bring opposition, rejection and suffering. In the Gospel, Jesus reminds His disciples that anyone who wishes to follow Him must take up their cross and follow Him.
Christian discipleship calls us beyond comfort and self-preservation. We are invited to surrender our lives to Christ, trusting that in losing our lives for His sake, we discover true and eternal life. The cross, therefore, is not the end, but the path to glory.
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.
