St. Dominic's Priory is
delighted to announce the Novice Class of 2006. These
five men have come from
various walks of life, but both have sought to live and serve the Lord in the tradition of
St. Dominic De Guzman. Please pray for them as they spend one year dedicated to
deeper prayer as they learn to live the Dominican life.

O inestimable charity! Even as You, true God and true Man, gave
Yourself entirely to us, so also You left Yourself entirely for us, to be our food, so that during our
earthly pilgrimage we would not faint with weariness, but would be strengthened by You, our celestial
Bread. O man, what has your God left you? He has left you Himself, wholly God and wholly Man, concealed
under the whiteness of bread. O fire of love! Was it not enough for You to have created us to Your image
and likeness, and to have recreated us in grace through the Blood of Your Son, without giving Yourself
wholly to us as our Food, O God, Divine Essence? What impelled You to do this? Your charity alone. It was
not enough for You to send Your Word to us for our redemption; neither were You content to give Him us as
our Food, but in the excess of Your love for Your creature, You gave to man the whole Divine essence...
- Catherine of Siena
