Running With The Hounds [of the Lord]

Dominicans have often been jokingly referred to as the Hounds of the Lord. We are always on the hunt, always running after the Lord Jesus Christ who is Truth Himself. So what’s it like to be both a runner and a Hound of the Lord, a Dominican Friar? Running and the religious life present us with great avenues for discussing the spiritual life and how we can grow in relationship with Jesus Christ. Just like athletes we need to train our spirits and strengthen our spiritual muscles for the journey ahead so that we can gain the prize that awaits us: Heaven and union with Christ.
