Book Description
The Saint Within Us By: Alfred J. Harradine You will read how the saints lived their ordinary lives in extraordinary ways and how they examined themselves to be certain they were living in faith. You will read how living a Life in the Spirit, a personal relationship with Jesus, continued to form and guide the saints and everyday people to experience the many unbelievable, but ever so true, miracles happening today in their lives. You will come to understand the saints’ belief that everyone of us is called to be a child of God with truth as his or her guide, love as his or her nourishment, and peace as his or her rest. You will learn how they shared the God and Jesus within them so others could experience His presence in them, and so they too could give Him honor and praise. You will learn how to live the Lord‘s Prayer “they kingdom come now as it is in heaven”. You will not have to wait until you go to heaven. You can experience and live that life, now, this day!

Book Description
What drove U.S. Catholics in their arduous quest, full of twists and turns over more than a century, to win an American saint? The absence of American names in the canon of the saints had left many of the faithful feeling spiritually unmoored. But while canonization may be fundamentally about holiness, it is never only about holiness, reveals Kathleen Sprows Cummings in this panoramic, passionate chronicle of American sanctity. Catholics had another reason for petitioning the Vatican to acknowledge an American holy hero. A home-grown saint would serve as a mediator between heaven and earth, yes, but also between Catholicism and American culture. Throughout much of U.S. history, the making of a saint was also about the ways in which the members of a minority religious group defined, defended, and celebrated their identities as Americans. Their fascinatingly diverse causes for canonization—from Kateri Tekakwitha and Elizabeth Ann Seton to many others that are failed, forgotten, or still under way—represented evolving national values as Catholics made themselves at home. Cummings's vision of American sanctity shows just how much Catholics had at stake in cultivating devotion to men and women perched at the nexus of holiness and American history—until they finally felt little need to prove that they belonged.

Book Description
"Therese Martin died of tuberculosis on September 30, 1897. She was twenty-four years old and hardly known outside the circle of her family and the convent of Carmelite sisters in the small Normandy town of Lisieux. Yet within fifteen years her name was recognized throughout the world, her spiritual autobiography translated into a dozen languages. In 1925, less than twenty-eight years after her death, she was canonized a saint, and in 1997 she was named a Doctor of the Church, a teacher and model for contemporary believers." "How does one explain the phenomenon of Therese? There is something about her "little way" that appeals to people, that makes holiness seem possible even to ordinary folk. There was also something about Therese herself: her simplicity, her directness and the fact that she so obviously loved God and loved people. More than most great figures of the church, Therese was the saint who loved us." "This book tells the story of Therese in her own right. It tells of her childhood, her decision to enter Carmel and her growth into holiness. It concentrates on her great work, The Story of a Soul, relating how this spiritual memoir came to be written, the obstacles it encountered and finally how the book swept up all of Christendom in its passion for God."--BOOK JACKET.
