Book Description
The Spirit of St. Dominic is the fruit of retreat conferences preached by Fr. Clerissac to his Dominican brethren in England in 1908. In these pages, Fr. Clerissac presents the spirit of St. Dominic and his Order of Preachers, illuminating how this spirit is a living treasure for the Church today as it was at its genesis. As Thomistic Institute Director Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P. writes in his Introduction, "a great work of theology has a perennial relevance." Such indeed is the case with this collection of retreats given by Fr. Clerissac: perennially relevant, theologically beautiful. "To bring others to understand and love the luminous spirit of the Dominican Order, the eternal youth of its doctrinal tradition, its exquisite large-mindedness, its sublime idealism: would not one willingly die to make that known and loved?" Fr. Humbert Clerissac, O.P. Father Humbert Clerissac, O.P., was born in France in 1864, At the early age of sixteen, he discerned his vocation after reading Lacordaire's Life of Saint Dominic. During the thirty-four years of his Dominican life he showed a never-wavering ardor for the spirit of St. Dominic's life and mission. He had tremendous influence as a preacher and a spiritual director, and he worked tirelessly for conversions, giving retreats to religious men and women of his own and other Orders. Fr. Clerissac died in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I.

Book Description
They are called “Hounds of the Lord,” and “Stoics on spiritual steroids.” For 800 years they have barked out Christ’s gospel message, saving countless souls and showing us how to think, do, and love for the glory of God. Inspired by the stories of their saints, we join the Dominicans in celebrating the Jubilee of their first 800 years. In these pages, we draw inspiration and spiritual strength from the lives, lessons, and legacies of their intellectual giants and enrapt mystics, the men and women who scrubbed floors, and those who cared for the dying. You’ll discover countless fascinating and pious stories, prophetic dreams and visions, apparitions of Christ and Our Lady, appearances of the devil in disguise, miraculous healings, episodes of bi-location, stigmata, incorruption after death, and more. From St. Thomas Aquinas to St. Martin de Porres, in story after story you’ll see how God favored these holy men and women in so many surprising and supernatural ways. Even 800 years later, these Hounds of the Lord are still out there today, roaming the world, seeking out souls to retrieve for Christ. Open this book, and you’ll be given a taste of that glorious and joyful spirit that animates the Dominican Order — a spirit they have so long and so willingly shared with the rest of the world. Let their example serve as inspiration, and let loose the hounds of the Lord within you.

Book Description
To describe the Spirit of an Order is a task of no little difficulty: it is to explain that which is neither palpable, tangible, nor visible; it is to picture the unseen. No one but a member of an Order can understand, much less reveal to others, the Order's Spirit; it presupposes not book-learning but practical life-study, it is a .. drawing from life." "What man knoweth the things of a man but the spirit of a man that is in him?" The late Archbishop Ullathome was accustomed to say that "to understand is to stand wIder." To Wlderstand the spirit of a life one must stand or live under it. To explain that spirit to an outsider, it must be embodied in the life of the Founder or in the lives of its most illustrious members. The daily life, the daily practices, the daily work, the daily devotions, the daily following of traditional as well as constitutional exercises, the daily association with those who have borne the yoke from their youth and have grown old in the service-these alone can reveal what we mean by the spirit of an Order, these alone can make known to us the inner self of a religious life. The writer of the following pages, having herself imbibed the spirit of the Dominican Order in her Dominican home, saw the wisdom of embodying its spirit in the living instances of some of its sainted members. From her graceful and prolific pen we have the Dominican spirit revealed in the Life of the Founder of the Order; then she manifests that spirit in his best known and most illustrious daughter, the seraph Saint of Siena; now she shows us the likeness of the Father and the reflection of his spirit in many others, his spiritual children. The title of the present work suggests its scope and object: "The Spirit of the Dominican Order illustrated in the Lives of its Saints." The spirit is explained not so much in words as by the more emphatic teaching of example. The book is an object lesson in Dominican life. It is a Dominican gallery containing pictures familiar and pictures new. It is a mirror reflecting Dominican ways; a photograph portraying the lines, the lineaments, the expression of the Dominican face; a phonograph reproducing Dominican words and sayings coming from the abundance of the Dominican heart and therefore revealing the Dominican spirit. Every Order has its own peculiar spirit, different in some degree at least from the spirit of every other Order, hence its raison d' etre. If all were alike one would suffice for the different characters of men and the varying needs of Christian society. All are not alike, they agree in the first broad principles of religious life; in all else they agree too-but they agree to differ-to differ that is in their mode of carrying out these principles among men. As flower differs from flower, and leaf from leaf, and as every man has his own identity, so with Orders; yet all work with the same great aim.
