“Not merely the stars of pious fairy tales”
Coming up later in March our Lent selection will be My Sisters the Saints by Colleen Carroll Campbell.
CatholicMom.com is having a drawing for a free book! On the contest page I found a great video of the author explaining how she came to learn and write about some of the towering women saints: St. Therese, St. Faustina, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Mother Teresa, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) and the Mother of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
“I was surprised as I began to dive into their lives and their writings that they had wrestled with so many of the same problems I had.”
We have read books written by and about some of these saints.
We are looking forward to discussing them, as Campbell explains, “as deep and dear friends and indispensable guides.”
I count on the Saints on a daily basis. The ones who have my back are Saint Therese, Saint Rita, Saint Philomena, Saint Bernadette and of course Saint Joseph, and the Blessed Mother. I am looking forward to reading this.
