Dominican Saints - Paperback

by Novices Dominican House of Studies (Author)

"Among the many exponents of the ideals of the Order of Saint Dominic, the fourteen canonized saints stand out pre-eminently. It is the purpose of this book to outline briefly the lives of these fourteen saints, and to indicate where further information regarding them may be obtained. The writers have drawn their material from scattered but authentic sources in the hope of showing how the spirit of Saint Dominic was, humanly speaking, the mainspring of the activities of these exponents, the guiding principle in the development of their characters, and the lodestar of their lives."

Here are related the astonishing lives of fourteen saints of the Dominican Order, including St. Dominic, St. Catherine of Siena, Pope St. Pius V, St. Rose of Lima, St. Vincent Ferrer, and more. An encyclical on the Dominican Order by Pope Benedict XV and a list of all the Dominican Saints and Blesseds (as of 1921) complete this wonderful introduction to the "Dogs of the Lord."
