EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the venerable Louis of Granada, O.P. (1505-1588), a Dominican friar, theologian, writer, and renowned preacher of the 16th century. Born in Granada, Spain, Louis joined the Dominican Order and dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the spread of the Catholic faith. The image depicts Louis in his Dominican habit, the traditional garb of the Order, which includes a white tunic, a brown scapular, and a robe with the Dominican cross. The colors of the engraving have been beautifully preserved, adding a touch of vibrancy and modernity to this historical piece. Louis was a prolific writer, penning numerous works on various aspects of theology, including the lives of the saints, mysticism, and spiritual direction. His most famous work, "The Spiritual Consolation of the Soul," is still widely read and cherished by spiritual seekers today. As a preacher, Louis was known for his eloquence and ability to connect with his audience, inspiring them with his deep understanding of the faith and his fervent love for God. His preaching drew large crowds and brought many souls closer to God. Despite the challenges of the time, including the Protestant Reformation and the persecution of Catholics in Spain, Louis remained steadfast in his faith and dedication to the Dominican Order. He was beatified by the Catholic Church in 1833 and is remembered as a model of holiness and learning within the Dominican tradition. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Louis of Granada, O.P., a man whose life and work continue to inspire and enrich the spiritual lives of countless individuals.
