  • He opened their minds

    Letting go of the produce of our minds.

    Brendan Clifford - I was with a group of people who were reading the story of the man who leased his land to tenants and afterwards sent his servants to collect the produce.  The surprise in the story is the hostility of the tenants who beat up and killed the servants.  The story seemed to have nothing to do with anyone in our group until it dawned on us that we all hold on to the produce of our lives, the things we worked hard to produce, and we get angry with anyone who comes to take them from us.  One lady said that a relative with small children came to stay with her for several weeks.  Gradually they took over the house and the only place she could call her own was her bedroom.

In the jubilee year of 2000 the Dominican Province of Ireland set up the Dominican Biblical Institute in Limerick for the purpose of biblical research and teaching.

The Institute aims to:

  • advance biblical research
  • promote global dialogue, especially between the Bible and Science with other disciplines, especially literature and science, thus forming a single multi-faceted story in which all human beings could find a home
  • bring fresh energy to applying the Bible to daily life (lectio divina), thereby bringing biblical research to street level. The ultimate focus of the DBI is pastoral, engaging with surrounding communities: schools and colleges, church groups and the general public.
