Saint Dominic: The Grace of the Word

By Fr. Guy Bedouelle, OP.

Written by one of the foremost contemporary authorities on St. Dominic, this book represents the latest, best, most concise and readable spiritual biography of St. Dominic. The focus of the biography is the way in which St. Dominic embodied the role of Christ as preacher and the results that came from this grace. Bedouelle documents how St. Dominic’s whole life and mission were one continuous proclamation of the power of the Gospel to transform individual lives and society.

St. Martin de Porres: Father of the Poor

By Theo Stearns.

We receive many requests for a life of our patron. Here is an exciting short life of St. Martin de Porres who faced many of the same problems that plague our own day. Born in 1600’s Lima, Peru, St. Martin was a biracial child born out of wedlock and rejected by his own father. Son of a working mother, Martin lived joyfully and selflessly serving others. He was trained as a physician and showed great compassion towards the poor, the sick and the dying, often working miracles on their behalf. His life as a Dominican lay brother was lived in utter simplicity and humility, but was also marked by many miracles and marvels.

Read how St. Martin bilocated to save his sister’s marriage, preached in the Orient without leaving Lima, instructed and consoled slaves, passed through locked doors, predicted the future, saved his confreres’ vocations through supernatural knowledge, raised a dead pet to life, rid the monastery of mice without harming a single one, and many other astonishing facts!

Fascinating — you won’t be able to put it down!

Apostle of the Rosary

Blessed Bartolo Longo
by Ann Brown

Fascinating, brief life of an amazing layman. Born in 1841, Bartolo was a restless soul searching for truth. Caught up in the tide of liberalism sweeping through the universities at the time, he turned to the occult until a devout friend changed the course of his life. Fearing for his salvation, Bartolo vowed to promote the Rosary in an obscure Italian village. However, with God’s grace, his small initiative grew to become a world-famous shrine (Our Lady of the Rosary at Pompeii) and a city devoted to charitable work. Many photos.

St. Catherine of Siena

By Alice Curtayne

Stigmatist, miracle-worker, Doctor of the Church, patroness of Italy, she brought the papacy back to Rome from France, lived many years without eating, and brought thousands of souls to Christ. Catherine lived as a tertiary in her home and was influential in the turbulent politics of her time, all the while living deeply united to Christ to whom she was mystically espoused. A strong and fearless woman who did not hesitate to rebuke and advise kings and even the Pope when necessary. She died at only 33 — an amazing saint! Gives much historical background along with the story of Catherine’s life.
