Fratres fideliter memoriam

The brethren should remember faithfully those who have gone before them in the family of St. Dominic, and who provide them "with example in their way of life, fellowship in their communion, and the help of their intercession." They should study and make known their deeds and their teaching. (From the Book of Constitutions and Ordinations of the Friars of the Order of Preachers, LCO 16).

Fratres fideliter memoriam recolant illorum qui in
familia s. Dominici eos praecesserunt et “conversatione exemplum, communione consortium et intercessione subsidium”(Constitutio Vat II. 'Lumen gentium' n. 51.) eis praebent. Gesta doctrinamque illorum conspiciant et diffundant. (LCO 16)
