Description
Splendor of the Saints by Fr. Aloysius Roche offers a lively exploration of the extraordinary lives and achievements of the saints, showing how their pursuit of holiness has left a lasting mark not only on the Church, but on the course of history.
With wit and enthusiasm, Fr. Roche recounts examples of remarkable courage, generosity, self-denial, perseverance, and missionary zeal across the centuries. He considers how the saints transformed communities, influenced cultures and ways of thinking, and demonstrated what can be accomplished through lives radically committed to God.
Far from presenting the saints as distant or unattainable figures, Splendor of the Saints challenges readers to resist spiritual mediocrity and allow their examples to inspire greater courage and holiness in their own lives.
This definitive edition of Fr. Roche's classic includes a new foreword by Paul Thigpen, 133 additional biographical and explanatory footnotes, comprehensive Scripture citations, and updated language to make the work accessible to contemporary readers.
An inspiring introduction to the remarkable influence of the saints and the transformative power of a life devoted to God.
