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.
