$13.95
In this collection of stories, "Saints of the Jubilee," readers are introduced to a variety of familiar saints canonized during the Great Jubilee Year 2000. They include inspiring stories from nearly every continent, including Francisco and Jacinta Marto of Fatima, 120 Chinese Martyrs, Sister Faustina Kowalska, Sister Katharine Drexel, 25 Mexican Martyrs, and many more - 164 in all. They include remarkable stories of children and adults, men and woman, religious and lay people striving to live in holiness. From the Foreword By Robert Royal: "The present volume usefully selects a variety of modern saints canonized during the Jubilee... The figures treated here are representative of many kinds of heroic witnesses the the faith still produces and the kinds of problems and opposition they face.Anyone who feels that modern life offers us few opportunities for the kind of holiness we associate with earlier ages will find a counter argument presented here. God's love and inspiration are never lacking in any age." Tim Drake is a full-time writer. He serves as executive editor of Catholic.net and features correspondent with the National Catholic Register. His work has appeared in Envoy Magazine, Lay Witness Magazine, Catholic world report, Our Sunday Visitor, Faith and Family, and Columbia Magazine.
