About this title

Synopsis

Take a prayerful walk through the Church’s liturgical calendar with Lessons from the Lives of the Saints. Each day contains a concise biography of these heroic men and women the Church venerates as saints. Fr. Esper provides a brief overview of each saint’s life and explains simple lessons we can draw from his or her example. This book is a fantastic resource for our daily spiritual reading and meditation – a helpful guide that teaches us how to apply the saint’s secrets of holiness to our own daily life.

Important life lessons that we can learn from the Saints:

How true joy comes not from earthly status, but from following Christ like St. Francis of Assisi
How God answers our prayers, but often in a way demanding our patience
Like Mary Magadalene, how no one is beyond the power of the grace of God
How we can worship God and grow in holiness through both work and prayer, sometimes combined
How, through charity and prayer, impossible situations can be transformed and family members converted
How Christians may be called upon to endure great sufferings – but if so, God will always sustain us
