G.K. Chesterton once remarked that one does not obtain sanity until one reaches sanctity. The saints of long ago had heroic virtue, humility, and great courage. Modern saints, however, had these same characteristics of holiness. Many modern saints offered the supreme witness of their lives, attesting to the truth that, even now, Christ conquers not by the blood of His enemies, but by the blood of His martyrs. The Church holds up saints as examples for the rest of us: if they attained holiness, we can, too.
This remarkable book points the way with 21 powerful examples from our own epoch. Each chapter includes a short biography, inspirational words of wisdom, confirmed miracles, and the saint's final resting place.
