Fr. Allan White O.P., socius to the Master of the Dominican Order, gave a lecture in honour of the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, in the Irish Dominican Studium here in Dublin. The talk, titled “The Humble Intelligence of the Heart”, was about the dimension of study in the Dominican Order.

This is a recording of the Salve procession after First Vespers of a Sunday in St. Mary’s Church, Pope’s Quay, Cork, Ireland. This is the Dominican version of the Salve Regina, which is followed by the O Lumen Ecclesiae (O Light of the Church) which is the Magnificat Antiphon of the Feast of Saint Dominic.
This is the next discussion of some of the Dominican Students of the Irish Province, this time on the address of Pope Benedict XVI in Westminster Hall.
What is it that we are looking for in this time of Advent and preparation for Christmas?
If we are looking for some new revelation that will fill in all the gaps in our understanding, or for a mystical experience lifting us up to the highest heavens…. we are likely to be disappointed.
The Scriptures and the Liturgy of the season make a good suggestion: seek the face of Christ (Psalm 27:8), the Lord who will be born in Bethlehem. It was there that, for the first time, the world could look on the face of its Lord, who had made himself a defenceless infant for our sake. Yet when we think about this, we may feel that we are looking into something beyond our understanding, and an example that is just too holy for us to imitate.
The Rorate Caeli is sung by choirs all over the world in the lead up to Christmas. It is not, however, a festive carol, or anything like it! It is a solemn, serious text, based on Old Testament prophecy and lament, and it expresses something far more true to human experience than the fluff and tinsel of ‘commercial Christmas’. The birth of Jesus is presented in the Rorate, not as something merely cute and sentimental, but as the answer to the real cry of our hearts.
Advent is a time of waiting, of expectation, when we await the arrival of the incarnate Word of God – Jesus, into the world. In doing this, we
are re-living the experience of the people of Israel in the Old Testament, who awaited the arrival of the Messiah. In fact, the entire Old Testament has been called a prolonged advent, waiting for the arrival of Him who was promised by “those who were his prophets from of old”.
On the unusual occasion of a lot of snow in Dublin, the students of the Irish Dominican Province had a bit of a snowball fight…
