Lay Dominicans are drawn into contemplation with the desire to behold the face of Jesus. When we find our Beloved, He calls us out to a life of action and mission. We are plain-clothed preachers, called to praise God and bless man in our neighborhoods, workplace, and parishes. We carry the gospel to our friends, neighbors, and family, and strive to set the world on fire, even as we set alight by Christ and the witness of His holy saints.
