Dominican Saints
by Dominican Novices, St. Catherine of Siena

The Order of Preachers, purveyors of the Rosary, Hounds of the Lord—the Dominican order is one of the greatest jewels in the treasury of the Church. Such an illustrious band has produced numerous saints: confessors, nuns, popes, martyrs, preachers, mystics, and more.

In Dominican Saints, readers will find biographies of 14 of the most illustrious members of St. Dominic's lineage:

St DominicSt Peter the MartyrSt HyacinthSt Thomas Aquinas
St Raymond of PennafortSt Agnes of MontepulcianoSt Catherine of SienaSt Vincent Ferrer
St AntoniusSt Pius VSt John of CologneSt Louis Bertrand
St Catherine de RicciSt Rose of Lima

Pious tradition relates the story of St. Dominic's vision of the future of his order. One night, deep in prayer, he was granted a vision of the heavenly court, and the walls of Eternity parted to reveal Our Lord and Our Lady.

Suddenly, Dominic began to weep.

When the Lord asked him why he could be so sorrowful, St. Dominic replied that, although he could see so many members of other orders in heaven, he could find not one Dominican. Ever mirthful, Our Lord then indicated his Mother, saying that the order was in her care. At this, Our Lady raised her mantle and spread it wide, revealing a host of Dominicans so vast it seemed to fill the entire heavenly court. Here, come to know these holy men and women of one of the most privileged groups in history.
