The story for children 10 and up of St. Rose of Lima, who became a
hermit in her own home--rather than go to a convent--and how she
became a great Saint. At her confirmation in 1597, she took the
name of Rose, because, when an infant, her face had been seen
transformed by a mystical rose. As a child she was remarkable for a
great reverence, and pronounced love, for all things relating to
God. Impr. 132 pgs 13 Illus, PB

Mary Fabyan Windeatt presents the powerful story of the famous life
and miracles of St. Benedict for the Vision Book series of saints
for youth. Known as the Father of Western Monasticism, St. Benedict
played a major role in the Christinization and civilization of
post-Roman Europe in the sixth century. Having lived in an era of
great immorality and vice, Benedict founded an order for monks
whose strong life of prayer and work helped convert the godless
society around them. It tells how his Benedictine order of monks
spread throughout Europe and the New World. The heroic life of his
sister St. Scholastica, his saving a boy from drowning, raising one
from the dead, and the story of poisoned wine are all told in this
exciting, dramatic tale of a great saint. Illustrated
St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has
been inspected and some imperfections may remain. At Saint Pius X
Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both
photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are
reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page
inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct
any errors in reproduction.
