Summary: A Unique Supplement to Catholic History
Comment: P>Anybody with an interest in saints and/or Catholic history will not be disappointed in this book. Some subjects portrayed in SAINTS - St. Faustina, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, and St. Katherine Drexel among others - will be familiar to many Catholics, yet their stories are so compelling they are worthy of repeat readings, and the authors given the task of these biographies have done these holy people justice in their words.
What attracted me most to this project was the opportunity to write about lesser known saints. We know the stories of St. Therese and St. Francis, but what about the martyrs of Mexico who prayed and died alongside Miguel Pro? Pro expert Ann Ball offers a brilliant summary of those who died in the anti-Catholic purges of Mexico (interesting note: Ann Ball is the only contributor cited in Robert Royal's book of 20th century martyrs; Royal wrote the introduction to SAINTS).
SAINTS recounts tales of St. Andrew the Catechist of Vietnam, the 120 Catholics martyred for the faith in China, and Sister Maria Josefa, foundress of the Servants of Jesus. In all, 164 saints and blesseds are covered in this slim book, nowhere near the number of people canonzied by Pope John Paul II. Yet, SAINTS provides a glimpse into a most extraordinary year for beatifications and canonizations through biographies of people who live on through their faith.
