   The novena services will be at 7:15 on the weekdays, and will consist of Holy Mass and homily, followed by Night Prayer of the Church.  On the two Sundays, Trinity Sunday, May 17, and the feast of Corpus Christi, May 25, the services will begin at 11:00 am, with the Holy Mass and homily. The Novena will then conclude with an outdoor procession of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by Benediction in the chapel. Bring a friend along!

     We look forward to having Reverend Chrys Finn, O.P., a member of the Southern Province of our Dominican Friars with us to preach the Corpus Christi novena. Fr. Finn is presently the Judicial Vicar of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, and a member of the Archdiocesan Priests' Council. He resides at St. Dominic Priory in New Orleans where he serves as subprior. He is also active with a chapter of the Dominican Laity whom he serves as spiritual director. Prior to these assignments, Father lived in the world headquarters of the Order, Santa Sabina in Rome for some years where he was Vicar of the Master of the Order and Socius for the American Provinces. On a personal note, Fr. Finn enjoys reading historical novels as well as mysteries, and is a great devotee of classical music.

SEARCH FOR LIVING WATERS
Dominican Nuns Reflect on Contemplative Spirituality
 
If God speaks a word, it is because he desires to reveal,
to communicate, to walk with us
in the garden he creates with us.
The search is our response to God's desire
Thus, life is a desire and a search - God's and ours.
 
This book is a thanksgiving to God for 800 years.
It tells of a journey, an adventure:
how contemplative women see living waters,
not only for themselves but for all.
 
Each article is a reflection on contemplative life
in its ascetic, mystical and communitarian dimensions.
The articles given are a small selection
from Dominican Monastic Search
which began in 1980 as a journal
sponsored by the Dominican Nuns of the United States
to foster contemplative life by the sharing of insights
gained from prayer and study.
 
Come to the waters (Is 55:1).
We walk with all in need and who search.
Joy awaits us. God's desire is present,
passionate, persistent- a desire never diminished.
 
You are invited to join the search and know the joy.
