Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Short Lives of the Dominican Saints This book is an album of Dominican pictures. The pictures are word-painted and not limned in crayon or oil; they are drawn with a graphic pen and not painted with an artists brush. They are pictures all the same-lifelike, faithful, and true. Each chapter-and there are nearly a hundred of them-is a portrait, the original of which once lived in a Dominican cloister, in a Convent home, in an ancestral hall, in a princely or noble mansion, or, like Jesus at Nazareth, in a lowly cottage amongst simple, humble, working folk who earned their daily bread by the sweat of their brow. They are offered to the reader for his study, his admiration, and maybe even for his imitation. There are lights and shades in all these pictures, as there are lights and shades in every human life, if we except one, that was ever lived, or will be lived, from Eden to Jehosophat, from the dawn of creation to its doom. Each of these pictures tells its own story, each teaches its own lesson, each preaches its own sermon, each is a picture from life and from a holy life-for each is the life of a Saint. The word Saint is used in its comprehensive sense. All, the stories of whose lives are here briefly told, are not canonized Saints. Some are only "Beati" or the beatified of Saint Dominic´s Order. They await the Church´s final seal. Not one of the very large number beatified by the voice of the people, but not as yet declared blessed by the voice of the Church, finds a place in this book.
