Since the early centuries, Christians have held up the saints as
models of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While the church
officially recognizes a relatively small number of saints, the
actual roster is infinitely wider. Blessed Among Us explores this
eclectic "cloud of witnesses"-lay and religious, single and
married, canonized and not, and even non-Christians whose faith and
wisdom may illuminate our path. Brought to life in the evocative
storytelling of Robert Ellsberg, they inspire the moral imagination
and give witness to the myriad ways of holiness. In two stories per
day for a full calendar year, Ellsberg sketches figures from
biblical times to the present age and from all corners of this
world-ordinary figures whose extraordinary lives point to the new
age in the world to come. Blessed Among Us is drawn from Ellsberg's
acclaimed column of the same name in Give Us This Day, a monthly
resource for daily prayer published by Liturgical Press.
