The Dominicans of St. Joseph Province have posted a nice explanation of what Dominican preaching is all about. It begins, Fr. Dominic says, in an encounter with Jesus. My own thoughts in a recent post parallel this line of thinking. We, the laity, have our own call to live and to an extent proclaim the encounter we have been graced to experience so that others may have life more abundantly. It seems to me to be the essence of evangelization to live and proclaim in this way, joyfully sharing with our words and our actions within the context of our own vocations the abundance of God's love. To the extent that we live out our vocations faithfully, that love we encountered in the person of Jesus is made manifest and indeed magnified, it is the mustard seed which takes root and spreads in the hearts of others. Take a look at the video here.
