Llull&rsquo;s final perseverance was not a single heroic moment, but the steady fruit of a lifetime surrendered to the will of God. Written in his own voice, this autobiographical narrative reads with the intensity of an adventure, detailing missionary journeys, ecclesial opposition, personal weaknesses, and unwavering resolve.</p>\n<p>Known as the <em>Doctor Illuminatus</em>, this Franciscan tertiary authored more than 300 works spanning theology, philosophy, logic, apologetics, and missionary method, including his famed <em>Greater Art (Ars Major)</em>. In these memoirs, readers encounter a visionary far ahead of his time, one who pleaded with Pope Clement V and the College of Cardinals to establish monastic academies dedicated to training missionaries in foreign languages. Though his proposal was denied, Llull never abandoned the work entrusted to him by Christ.</p>\n<p>This TAN edition also includes substantial extracts from his <em>Booklet about the End</em>, translated into English for the first time by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB, offering rare insight into Llull&rsquo;s strategic and spiritual vision for evangelizing the unconverted world.</p>\n<!-- Conversion Bullets -->\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>Read the firsthand spiritual autobiography of one of the Church&rsquo;s greatest missionary minds</li>\n<li>Discover the perseverance that sustained a life marked by rejection and opposition</li>\n<li>Explore the vision behind Llull&rsquo;s revolutionary approach to evangelization</li>\n<li>Encounter newly translated material previously unavailable in English</li>\n<li>Be inspired to embrace your own mission with courage and fidelity</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- From the Book -->\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Book</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">&ldquo;Death has no terrors for a sincere servant of Christ who is laboring to bring souls to a knowledge of the truth.&rdquo;<br /><span style=\"font-size: .9rem; color: #555;\">&mdash; Blessed Ramon Llull</span></blockquote>\n<!-- Intended Audience -->\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p>Ideal for Catholics devoted to missionary work, students of medieval theology and philosophy, clergy and religious, and lay faithful seeking inspiration for courageous apostolic action.

The Memoirs of Blessed Ramon Llull

By Blessed Ramon Llull · Published by TAN Books

Overview

The Memoirs of Blessed Ramon Llull is not merely a recollection of a saint’s life, it is the account of a man wholly consumed by the mission of Christ. Llull’s final perseverance was not a single heroic moment, but the steady fruit of a lifetime surrendered to the will of God. Written in his own voice, this autobiographical narrative reads with the intensity of an adventure, detailing missionary journeys, ecclesial opposition, personal weaknesses, and unwavering resolve.

Known as the Doctor Illuminatus, this Franciscan tertiary authored more than 300 works spanning theology, philosophy, logic, apologetics, and missionary method, including his famed Greater Art (Ars Major). In these memoirs, readers encounter a visionary far ahead of his time, one who pleaded with Pope Clement V and the College of Cardinals to establish monastic academies dedicated to training missionaries in foreign languages. Though his proposal was denied, Llull never abandoned the work entrusted to him by Christ.

This TAN edition also includes substantial extracts from his Booklet about the End, translated into English for the first time by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB, offering rare insight into Llull’s strategic and spiritual vision for evangelizing the unconverted world.

  • Read the firsthand spiritual autobiography of one of the Church’s greatest missionary minds
  • Discover the perseverance that sustained a life marked by rejection and opposition
  • Explore the vision behind Llull’s revolutionary approach to evangelization
  • Encounter newly translated material previously unavailable in English
  • Be inspired to embrace your own mission with courage and fidelity
