Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage – September 28, 2024

Dominican Friars September 28, 2024 6:33 pm

At the 2024 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. James Sullivan, O.P., preached on the limits of human strength. We often believe we have life figured out—but the struggle with sin reveals otherwise. On our own, we cannot reach our true potential or find lasting happiness.

The good news: God’s grace is the answer. In Christ, we discover the fullness of what it means to be human, not by our own power but through divine love that triumphs over sin.

The Project of Being Human Is Beyond Us | Fr. James Sullivan, O.P.

Dominican Friars September 2, 2025 12:01 am

At the 2024 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. James Sullivan, O.P., preached on the struggle St. Paul describes: “The good that I want to do, I do not do… but the evil I do not want is what I do.”

Our culture tells us to “be your best self,” but can we ever fulfill that promise apart from God? Fr. James reflects on why we are not enough on our own—and why the Annunciation is God’s answer. In giving us His Son and His Mother, the Lord shows that the fullness of the human person is forged only by grace.

We Need God’s Grace | Fr. James Sullivan, O.P.

Dominican Friars August 26, 2025 12:00 pm

At the 2024 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. James Sullivan, O.P., preached on the command of Christ at the Last Supper: “Love one another as I have loved you.” Drawing on St. Louis de Montfort, he reflects on how Mary, the Mother of Fair Love, leads us beyond fear into the freedom of God’s children.

Mary does not diminish our obligations—she inflames them with love, opening our hearts to live as true sons and daughters of the Father. Through her intercession, we discover a love that does not condemn but frees.
