Luis de Granada (1504–1588)

Luis de Granada, Fray (lö’ās de grä-nä’dä). A Spanish mystic and preacher; born at Granada, 1504; died at Lisbon, 1588. He entered the order of Preaching Friars or Dominicans in 1523. Though high church dignities were repeatedly offered to him, he remained a simple friar all his life. Of his discourses or sermons, thirteen were committed to writing and have been preserved. He wrote many works of devotion; among them: ‘Sinners’ Guide’ (1556); ‘Meditations’ (1556).
