The Sermons of Saint Bernardine of Siena

St. Bernardine of Siena was a fearless Franciscan preacher who set out to reform the moral and social life of fifteenth-century Italy. Crowds gathered in city squares to hear him, and his words were written down as he spoke.

In these sermons Bernardine confronts factional hatred, the poison of slander, and the lure of worldly vanity with striking clarity and genuine pastoral care. His devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus shines throughout, and his practical wisdom speaks just as directly to readers today.

A rich collection for anyone who loves the saints, classic preaching, or Franciscan spirituality.
