4 July 2020:In one of the more dramatic moments in the liturgy, Brother Joseph is prostrate on the floor, while everyone else will kneel in prayer for him. While everyone is kneeling, the litany of the saints is sung. This calls to mind the fact that not only those faithful on earth, but also the entire Church in heaven is praying during this important moment. We invoke Mary and Joseph, the saints from the Gospels and the heroic martyrs of the early Church, some of the most influential teachers of the Church, the Dominican saints as well as the founders of the other great religious orders.
