The link this article, “For Friars, Finding Renewal by Sticking to Tradition<\/a>,” leads you to a story about the Irish Dominicans<\/a> who have had a resurgence in vocations by a keen attention to their tradition and the Church’s. While the author concentrates on the wearing of the habit, there are other things that have been recovered: an authentic companionship (communal life), faithfulness to the Church, the wearing of the habit and the common, evangelical mission and conversion of mind and heart. Kudos for the Irish OPs in recognizing the signs so as not to diminish further, or even die.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t help but think that George Weigel’s latest book, <\/span>Evangelical Catholicism<\/i>, reflects what the future of the Church will be, including life in religious orders, not only in the USA, but around the world. You have to read, and re-read this book. Plus, I am tending to think that Cardinal Dolan was correct in saying that the Church in the USA is more concerned with the institution than she is with being missionary. Would that it be the case that the Benedictines could recognize what the Irish OPs did. <\/span>I offer this article so that we all may share in the Irish OPs joy for their own renewal. We can benefit by their witness.<\/span><\/p>\n
