The Miracles of the Saints
 

Who, having witnessed a miracle, can deny the power of God?

This awe-inspiring compendium of testimonies of the miraculous reinforces the role of supernatural grace in the life of the Church. The stories demonstrate how miracles prove the omnipotence of God, who speaks through His saints to heal and convert souls.

Miracles of the Saints is a colorful treasury that includes stories of well-known saints as well as new intercessors in the Church Triumphant.

Illustrated with holy images and photographs of their homelands, this collection brings to life the reality of these saints’ lives and works, from ancient times to present-day canonizations by Pope Francis.

Readers will discover:

All that can be known about St. Philomena’s mysterious life and origins, and how her intercession has brought about miracles for centuries
How St. Anthony of Padua converted a Cathar heretic by commanding a mule to venerate the Blessed Sacrament
St. Conrad of Piacenza’s “miracle of the bread,” which fed the hungry during the great famine of Sicily
How St. Mariam of Bethlehem, who grew up in the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land, miraculously overcame numerous obstacles to her vocation and received the stigmata
Each featured saint points to the power that comes not from themselves but from God, who provides these gifts to bring souls closer to Him. These saints humbly remind us that sainthood and the supernatural events associated with it ultimately consist of daily death to self and embodiment of the Gospel.

The saints profiled in this book provide instruction for how to hold fast to the Faith in a sinful world. Their miracles — both during their lifetimes and after their deaths — testify to the level of holiness they attained and prompt us to meditate on the Beatific Vision they now enjoy due to the choices they made in life.

Whether through increased devotion to a patron saint or discovery of a new friend in Heaven, these stories will inspire and encourage you to grow in heroic virtue. 

Pray for Us: 75 Saints Who Sinned, Suffered, and Struggled on Their Way to Holiness
 

How is it possible that a chain-smoking socialist, a teenage video gamer, an opium addict, a satanic high priest, a disabled beggar, and a self-absorbed mean girl became saints?

Popular itinerant missionary Meg Hunter-Kilmer will stretch your preconceived notions of holiness by exploring the lesser-known lives of seventy-five extraordinary people whose human struggles and limitations reveal the power of God’s grace.

Pray for Us isn’t your ordinary saint book: Hunter-Kilmer highlights the sorrows, struggles, and idiosyncrasies of broken people who turned their lives around and dedicated themselves to God and his work. Through these edgy profiles, full of fresh and fascinating stories, she explores the universal call to holiness and how God can transform anyone—from grouchy theologians to bratty teenagers—into saints. You’ll discover that anyone—even you—can become a saint if you trust in the Lord.

Among those you will meet are

Blessed Carlo Acutis, an ordinary Italian teen who enjoyed video games and loved the Eucharist but refused to waste time on things that weren’t pleasing to God.
Blessed Sara Salkahazi, a chain-smoking socialist and wild-child from an upper-class Hungarian family who exposed the plight of the working class and smuggled Jewish people to safety during World War II.
Blessed Victoire Rasoamanarivo, a married woman who defied the opposition of her difficult family to lead the Church in Madagascar.
St. Dulce Pontes, the daughter of a wealthy family in Brazil who decided to serve the poor by becoming a nun and teaching literacy to children and their parents in the slums.
Blessed Bartolo Longo, a satanic priest who returned to the Church, worked to bring people back to Christ, founded schools for the poor, established orphanages, and created Rosary groups.
St. Mark Ji Tianxiang, a Christian opium addict who never got clean but still had the courage to die a martyr’s death for his beliefs during the Boxer Rebellion in China.
Hunter-Kilmer presents the unvarnished lives of the saints and holy people in a way that reveals the power of God’s grace in their lives. Their stories—and especially their brokenness—are relatable to us all.

An extensive index that includes names, feast days, and patronages will help you find the inspiration you are looking for in the lives of these holy people.
