“He was always radiant and joyous, except when moved to compassion by some misfortune of his neighbours… He accepted insults, curses, and abuse with patience and even joy.”

Discover the powerful witness of one of the most influential saints in the history of the Church, Saint Dominic de Guzmán.

In the Life of St Dominic, Bede Jarrett, O.P.—a member of the religious order founded by St. Dominic himself—tells the fascinating story of this saint’s life. Growing from a quiet boy who loved to study into the father of the Dominicans, St. Dominic forged a path that would change the intellectual and spiritual life of Catholicism forever. His Order of Preachers would eventually draw to itself such theological giants as St. Albert the Great and St. Thomas Aquinas.

Severe in his own penances yet always compassionate and merciful to others, St. Dominic is a brilliant example for all Christians of the devout life. Perfectly balancing a fearless proclamation of the Gospel with the persistent contemplation of the highest Catholic truths, let his Life change yours forever.
