Magnificent Saint - Impossible Writing

I am on fire with St. Dominic, when you read a biography of a Saint, they stay with you. St. Dominic is first and foremost amazing, divine, magnificent, most holy. Pray for us St. Dominic! The story of St. Dominic is beyond 5 stars and it is laid out in this book. The style of writing is extremely tedious, I barely understood it. I recommend this book for the compilation of information and the historical data of the Order if you can cope with the writing.
