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

The call to lead and the call to holiness are profoundly intertwined. But in our world today, what does it even mean to be a leader? What does it even mean to be holy? Using the timeless and transcendent wisdom of the saints and the latest findings in business and social science, this book takes an insightful examination of the leadership principles demonstrated in the lives of the saints and their applicability to our modern everyday lives. Faced with challenges where their faith and even their lives hung in the balance, the saints responses exemplify what are authentic, effective, and inspirational models of leadership that we can use to guide us to our eternal destination. Echoing the words of Saint Francis of Assisi, Come along, Ill show you how. Let us call on Francis, Dominic, Ignatius, Francis Xavier, Therese of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila, Maximilian Kolbe, Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, and countless others who have gone before us to be our companions and guides, illuminating the path for us as we step up to lead and move forward to journey towards Christ.

Jesus told us to be perfect, and the Second Vatican Council highlighted this command by speaking of the universal call to holiness for all Christians. How do we answer this call? One great way is to learn from and pray with the saints, the ordinary men and women who fought the good fight to be holy until the end of their lives – and won. The saints have inspired Christians for more than two thousand years because they show us what it looks like to follow Jesus Christ despite countless challenges and obstacles. This unique book contains short biographies of several saints, along with prayers to each one, for every day of the year. It also provides definitions of Church terms and other helpful back - ground information. The saints in this collection come from every period of Church history and all walks of life. They represent numerous countries, cultures, age groups, and vocations. They show us that holiness truly is a path open to anyone, and by their example and prayers they help us to follow it.

The lives of the saints are a great source of inspiration and reassurance for us. The holy women in Saintly Moms can help us better to understand motherhood as a vocation, just like any other calling from God, and a path to holiness. Whether you're a new mom, a grandmother, or somewhere in between, this book will encourage all mothers in their vocation as they identify themselves in the lives of these saints, who also experienced the joys and challenges of being a mom. Their stories will also be inspiring to young women exploring the vocation of motherhood and anyone with an interest in saints who were mothers. Each chapter profiles a different holy mother, reflects on a lesson learned in her life, and ends with a prayer through her intercession. While we grow in admiration and devotion to them, these Saintly Moms can help us see the saintly possibilities each one of us possesses.
