Overview
“The stories of saints reaffirm that holiness is not restricted by age, sex, nationality, geography, or time in which a person lives. Saints represent almost every occupation and family background. Holy women and men use their diverse, God-given talents by witnessing in their unique way to God’s compassionate love; there are no clones among the saints.” — from the Introduction
For more than forty years, Saint of the Day has been a trusted guide, and this latest edition continues the tradition.
