The world needs saints to show it the way to true humanity. The
Church needs saints to show it how to live out its calling.The
witness of the lives of the saints is a powerful testimony to the
reality of God's plan and the possibility for truly following it in
one's life. So often, we do not see this witness. We see hypocrisy
and mediocrity among Christians. That is why we must look to the
saints -- the ones who really followed the words of Christ and let
them be carried out fully in their lives. The saints also give us a
reason to hope. Saints were not born; they were made through a life
of cooperation with God's grace despite many difficulties,
weaknesses, and temptations.This book, written from a Catholic
perspective, provides an overview to the lives of the saints
celebrated the entirety of the Roman calendar. It covers the whole
Church year, and makes for inspirational spiritual reading any time
of the year, providing an introduction to the patron saints for
many walks of life. Included are the Blessed Virgin Mary and St.
Joseph, Apostles like St. Peter and St. Paul, early martyrs like
St. Perpetua and St. Felicity, early evangelizers like St. Patrick,
medieval giants such as St. Thomas Aquinas, American saints such as
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. John Neumann, and many others.
Today, St Teresa continues to point the way from outer turmoil to
inner peace for Catholics throughout the world. Above all, she is
renowned for her mystical theology through books such as Life, The
Foundations, The Way of Perfection and Interior Castle. Over 400 of
her letters remain, together with Spiritual Testimonies,
Soliloquies, Meditations on the Song of Songs and an assortment of
poetry. Through all of her physical, emotional and spiritual
challenges, she was unstinting in her declaration of her longing to
serve God. Her life is evidence of both His presence and His
enduring, unconditional love, a love she unceasingly and
unhesitatingly sought throughout her astonishing life.
