The Four Pillars

The Dominican Order has existed for 800 years. 我们丰富的灵性将我们联系在一起，并将我们与其他宗教团体区分开来.
最有说服力的特质有时被描述为“多明尼加生活的四大支柱”——祈祷, Study, Community, and Preaching—inspired by the example of St. 多米尼克，据说他总是“与上帝交谈或谈论上帝”.”
 
其他的区别还包括我们多明尼加圣徒的生活和圣母玛利亚在修会历史上的地位.

  • Prayer

    祈祷的支柱要求一个人完全扎根于上帝，他是统一、真、善、美. 一个人完全拥抱这一支柱，通过开放与上帝的关系，并通过帮助他人看到培养自己灵性的重要性. 

  • Study

    St. 多米尼克建立了一个致力于知识分子生活的修会. A person devoted to study cultivates the life of the mind and, through scholarship, shares insights that are helpful to the community at large. 这一支柱号召人们进行一生的学习冒险——一种将荣耀归给上帝的学习, the Creator of all. 

  • Community

    社区的支柱强调了这样一个事实，即人本质上是社会性的. We need others and society for our fulfillment. 一个完全拥抱这一支柱的人会为世界的改善而工作，并为共同利益做出个人牺牲. 

  • Preaching

    讲道的支柱要求一个人成为一个杰出的沟通者. This communication centers on things that matter deeply: e.g.信仰、正义、个人和社会的正直，以及对个人尊严的尊重. 布道的方式多种多样:通过宣传、作曲、艺术、诗歌和音乐.

  • Dominican Heritage
