“Fountain of all holiness, you stirred up in our holy brothers and sisters an extraordinary love of truth, conformity to Christ crucified, and a thirst for the salvation of souls: may we imitate them in offering you thanks on account of the way of life they gave us”

— From the Intercessions at Lauds for the feast of All Saints of the Order of Preachers.

Today also marks the beginning of the 800th Jubilee of the Dominican Order. You can find more information about our 800th anniversary by visiting our Jubilee website: jubilee.opeast.org
