Mary our Mother, pray for us!

Today we celebrate the Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary over the Order of Preachers!

To remove Marian devotion from the Order would render it no longer Dominican in character. If we cast aside the proper willingness to serve Our Lady (the vow), throw away the proper uniform given to us by our Lady (the scapular), and refuse to offer the proper praise to Our Lady (the Salve Regina and holy rosary), I do not know what we would be—but I shudder at the very thought of it. Who can claim God as his heavenly father and St. Dominic as his father in religion, but disrespect and fail to love Mary as his mother?

The Order of Preachers is Mary’s Order. In imitation of St. Dominic, her name ought to be engraved on the heart of every member of our Order.

Given the centrality of Mary to the life of the Dominican, I offer a final thought: If you wish to give yourself to the Blessed Queen of Heaven, follow the way of St. Dominic.
—Fr. Titus Mary Sanchez, O.P.
