The Saints and Our Children

The Saints and Our Children gives not only a fresh account of some of our most familiar and beloved Saints, but is also draws out the lessons to be learned from their lives. Here the author draws remarkable insights from often overlooked details in the lives of St. John Bosco, St. Dominic Savio, St. Maria Goretti, St. Bernadette, St. Therese of Lisieux, etc., and also from the Holy Family itself. In these stories one sees the crucial role of father, mother and upbringing in the lives of the Saints and comes to appreciate the fact that Saints usually spring from good, even if imperfect, Catholic homes and to realize that God relies on parents to raise up His children in purity, obedience, perseverance, charity and the other virtues. The author goes on to relate some 30 additional great short stories from Saints’ lives which teach particular virtues.
