In Lessons From the Lives of the Saints you will take a prayerful walk through the Church's liturgical calendar. Each day contains a concise and pithy biography of these heroic men and women the Church venerates as saints. Fr. Esper provides a brief overview of each saint's life and explains simple lessons we can draw from his or her example. Learn how to apply the saints' secrets of holiness to your own daily life. Important life lessons that we can learn from the Saints: How true joy comes not from earthly status, but from following Christ like St. Francis of Assissi. How God answers our prayers, but often in a way demanding our patience. Like Mary Magdalene, how no one is beyond the power of the grace of God. How we can worship God and grow in holiness through both work and prayer, sometimes combined. How, through charity and prayer, impossible situations can be transformed and family members converted. How Christians may be called upon to endure great sufferings - but if so, God will always sustain us.
