Friarly

Dominican Friars

Friarly, started as a classroom project back in the Fall of 2010. We wanted to promote the preaching of our student friars who have the opportunity every weekend to preach on the readings from the Lectionary. Here on Friarly, and through our podcast, we hope to engage with men and women around the world and to show them the passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ that we bring to this Friarly Life

    Br. Dominick Jean, OP | Love Alone Will Save Us

    Br. Dominick Jean, OP, preaches on the Second Reading from 1st John for the 6th Sunday of Easter.

    What and who do you love?

    St. Augustine famously said that we become that which we love. The natural movement of love draws us out of ourselves and towards and into another. Do we love our own power or opinions? Do we love wealth and what wealth brings us? Or do we love God and what God loves?

    If we love God we shall be united with God, but if we love earthly things we will be united with earthly things and die like them.

    Only love rightly ordered to God and what God loves can save us. Only love.

    Br. Andrew Martin del Valle, OP | Challenged to Conversion

    Br. Andrew Martin del Valle, OP, preaches on the First Reading from Acts for the 6th Sunday of Easter.  One of the great themes we see in Acts of the Apostles is that of conversion. And not merely the conversion of those like Cornelius in Acts, but Peter himself.   We are all challenged to ongoing conversion each day of our lives. Can we accept the challenge, the risk, that comes with conforming more and more to Christ?

    Br. Peter Lewitzke, OP | Whom Do We Preach?

    Br. Peter Lewitzke, OP, preaches on the First Reading for the 4th Sunday of Easter  When we stand up and preach about our Faith who is it we are speaking about? Whom do we preach?  Often we preach ourselves and an image of God in our own image. Peter in the Acts of the Apostles shows us the way though. Peter knows the one whom he preaches and whom all the Apostles preach and his name is and must always be Jesus.

    See You In The Square | 3rd Sunday of Easter

    We're called to witness to Christ in the public square; why are we so often like Peter in the upper room? Dcn. James Pierce invites us to look at Peter's journey from the Upper Room to the public square, so that we might imitate Peter's journey and invite others to share in the Risen Lord.

    Br. Joseph van Havermaet OP | Called, Chosen, Changed

    The Apostles were imperfect men, men who ran away and denied Jesus, and yet Jesus called them back, he chose them, and in their encounter with Christ and their acceptance of the Holy Spirit they were changed forever. And when they embraced this gift, Christ changed the world through them.

    Br. Dominick Jean, OP | Tragedy or Fairy tale?

    Br. Dominick Jean, OP, preaches on Philippians 2:6-11 for Palm Sunday.   Through the Incarnation Christ has written himself into the story of our world, transforming our lives from a tragedy into a fairy tale but with one important difference from all other fairy tales: this one is true.

    Br. Andrew Martin del Valle, OP | Why we Preach

    Br. Andrew Martin preaches on Isaiah 50:4-7 for Palm Sunday.

    Why do we preach? The world and the culture around us are, at best, apathetic to the Faith, and at worst openly hostile. It is an exhausting and wearisome enterprise.

    And yet we preach the Word which Is Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Jesus who took upon himself our own weariness, our own exhaustion and our own humiliations.

    Why would we not want to preach this Word?

    Br. Peter Lewitzke, OP | Dead in Sin, Alive in Christ

    Br. Peter Lewitzke, OP, preaches on Ephesians 2:4-10 for the 4th Sunday of Lent.

    Whil we often say that we are saved through Christ it is so easy for us to slip into ways of thinking where we beleive that we can somehow give life to ourselves. But always we must remember: we were truly dead without Christ and we live only through Him. We are His handiwork.
