Though master-general of the order, Bl. Jordan s humility prevented
him from attributing himself as a director of any human authority.
He was not and did not wish to be anything but a docile instrument
of grace. As a director of conscience in his breadth and delicacy,
Jordan had the Catholic sense of the omnipotent and infinite
freedom of God and of the supernatural freedom of souls in relation
to God. Like Dominic, he had the faith which moves mountains, and
also he had hope of great assistance, which was never to fail him,
especially and above all that of the Roman Church. Marguerite Aaron
captures the man and his times in this excellent biography, which
not only makes use of the ample historical documentation but also
utilizes them to enter intimately into his personality, a rare
thing with the famous men of his era. Aron s biography is a first
rate history, readable, well sourced and well-written. This is the
only source in English to learn about the man who picked up and
carried St. Dominic s torch!
