  • Thomas F. O'Meara, O.P. Priest of the Dominican Order

Abstract

This article reflects on two moments in time: the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s call for reformation in years after 1515, and the fiftieth anniversary of the conclusion in December 1965 of the reforming Council, Vatican II. These events remind us how we are called in our time to be the servants of God’s kingdom in history, living out our lives in the midst of the mystery of God’s saving grace in Christ and we minister to the church by discovering new ways of preaching.
