Lay Saints - Models Of Family Life By Joan Carroll Cruz

It is a momentous task that can often seem overwhelming and unattainable. Within this volume are fifty-eight saints who achieved holiness as husbands, wives, parents, or youth. The saints in this volume are evidence of this fact and serve as role models for cooperation with the action of God's grace. Each of these saints has qualities to be emulated in living as a member of a family, whether patience is needed in bearing with the faults of a spouse, or temperance is needed to check a natural inclination to anger. But confident hope can be placed in God that He will always provide the grace necessary to accomplish such a feat. Everyone has dreams and goals that they want to achieve, but the foremost and overarching goal for every Catholic, and the only one that brings true happiness, should be to become a saint and enjoy the Beatific Vision. Indeed, without the aid of grace it is impossible.
