The Wisdom of the Saints: An Anthology

by JillHaakAdels (Editor)

Synopsis

This selection of the aphoristic sayings from the writings and recorded works of the Catholic saints ranges over nearly two thousand years of ecclesiastical history. Ranging from the polished prose of St Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists, to the cry of the martyr on the scaffold, these quotations touch on a wide variety of themes such as joy, hope, faith, folly, and death.
