Product Description
•••••
A beautifully illustrated collection of the stories of the Saints the
whole family will love — by father and daughter writing team, John and
Catherine Cavadini, with stunning portraits by Anastassia Cassady.
This collection, Saints: A Family Story, is composed of stories the authors have written for their own children and grandchildren and friends. They are adapted from Scripture, from original sources within the Tradition, and from the writings of the saints themselves or their family and friends. The saints are presented as a “Family,” living in many different times and places. Just think: many of these saints learned to love and to live the faith through the witness of their parents and grandparents or their brothers and sisters. Other saints form spiritual families, with connections between them found across the centuries.
The stories begin with Pope St. John Paul II because he called the Church today to sanctity by giving us the gift of more and more saints. The stories then move chronologically, from stories of saints in the Gospels, to martyrs, confessors and ascetics of the early Church, to saints of the medieval period, and to more modern saints, like Ven. Augustus Tolton, Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and St. Teresa of Calcutta.

Through the stories of these
saints, we receive new brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers,
grandmothers and grandfathers in the faith. Each person’s life tells the
“story” of God’s love in a unique and unrepeatable way. The
illustrations bring shape and color to these stories, capturing the true
diversity among the magnificent and beautiful “family of saints.”
