Dominican Saints

By Dominican Novices · Published by TAN Books

Overview

First published in 1921 to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the death of St. Dominic, Dominican Saints is a treasury of heroic sanctity drawn from the Order of Preachers. In these pages, Dominican novices recount fourteen luminous lives that helped shape the Church and the world, men and women formed in prayer, fortified by doctrine, and consumed with zeal for souls.

Here you will encounter St. Dominic, apostle of truth and founder of a preaching order raised up to combat error. You will walk with St. Peter Martyr, who sealed his defense of the Faith with his blood. You will learn at the feet of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose theological clarity still forms the mind of the Church. You will witness the bold charity of St. Catherine of Siena, who persuaded a wavering pope to leave Avignon and return to Rome. You will stand in awe before missionaries like St. Hyacinth, wonder-workers like St. Vincent Ferrer, reforming popes like Pope St. Pius V, contemplatives like St. Catherine of Ricci, and apostles of the New World like St. Rose of Lima.

These are not sentimental sketches, but vigorous portraits of sanctity forged in preaching, penance, martyrdom, and doctrinal fidelity. The tragic martyrdom of St. John of Cologne and the Martyrs of Gorcum is recounted with the gravity it deserves, reminding us that truth is worth dying for. Their lives are not relics of a distant past. They are magnanimous traditions that every Catholic should know, living proof that grace builds heroes.

  • Learn how doctrine and devotion unite in the lives of saints like St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Catherine of Siena
