The thirteen-part series of 30-minute videos was prepared in interview format and features a discussion on all the parts of the Creed we say at Mass on Sundays and major feastdays.

The interviewees include both Dominican friars and lay people.

The first in the series, launched on 17th April last, discusses the first word "Credo" (I believe) and where the Creed itself came from.

'Ears to Hear' - Irish Dominican Students

'Ears to Hear' is a series of reflections prepared by the student brothers of the Irish Dominican province. The series will have two online broadcasts per week, each consisting of a short reading from a spiritual classic , itself preceded by a brief introduction.

'Ears to Hear' begins with the season of Advent and is the result of the desire of our Dominican student brothers to make some spiritual classics of the Christian tradition accessible to those willing to listen over the internet. The first four weeks of 'Ears to Hear' will contain excerpts from the Church's cycle of formal prayer - from the writings of the saints and other Christian writers rather than from the Bible.

In launching 'Ears to Hear' the student brothers explained that the series would contain writings from a great variety of spiritual greats, from the Rhineland mystics to Saint Augustine of Hippo, from Saint Gregory Nazianzen to the many anonymous poets and preachers who have witnessed to the Truth.

Priestly ordinations for Irish Dominican friars

This recently published video of the priestly ordination of our brother, David Barrins OP, is a timely reminder to ask readers of this blog to keep in prayer three of our brothers who will be ordained priests next month - September 2011. Brothers Brian Doyle OP, Maurice Colgan OP and Denis Murphy OP will be ordained having completed their institutional studies and will soon receive their assignations as newly ordained priests of the Irish Dominican province. More details regarding the time, place and dates of these joyful events will be posted soon.

Irish Dominican Vocations would like to thank the team at Dominicans Interactive for supplying the video above. Fr David Barrins OP was ordained in St Mary's Dominican church, Pope's Quay Cork on the feast of Christ the King last year by the bishop of Cork and Ross, John Buckley. Fr David is currently assigned to that community and is the provincial promoter for youth ministry for the Irish Dominican friars.
