Holiness comes in all sizes. Sometimes it's the littlest who are the greatest in wisdom and grace. It's the youngest who demonstrate heroic virtue ? faith, hope, and love ? far beyond their years. Now Saintly Youth of Modern Times presents the biographies of more than forty of these amazing individuals from around the globe, including one youngster who died at the age of six! Here are boys and girls who watched cartoons on television, went to school, and enjoyed playing sports with their classmates. Here are young men and women who attended dances, drove cars, and loved chatting on the phone with their friends. Here are Catholics who fully lived the Faith, including some who courageously died for it. Read how these young holy ones faced: Arthritis; back problems; cancer and chemotherapy; eye problems; severe headaches; pneumonia; and more. Ranging from those expected to soon receive the title of Servant of God to those already canonized and declared a saint of the Church, here are young souls whose unwavering love of Christ in the Eucharist ? and devotion to his Blessed Mother ? continue to inspire lives today.

Patrick is a global saint, celebrated across the world, from the Americas to Asia. How much, however, do we know about this enigmatic saint? Did you know that he struggled at school and that his rise to the rank of bishop was not only unexpected but not welcomed by many of his contemporaries? With Patrick, as Edmond Grace SJ writes, facts and myth co-exist and it is this combination that enables Patrick and his story to remain relevant to people all over the world for many centuries. In Saint Patrick: An Ancient Saint for Modern Times Edmond Grace SJ presents a new Patrick, ‘the patron saint of the reconciliation of peoples’, a man whose experiences instilled in him a deep commitment to overcome differences of rank, place and culture in the service of Christ.

In this intriguing new book, bestselling author Joan Carroll Cruz presents 76 mini-biographies highlighting saintly Catholics who faced intense, long-term suffering and disability with sweetness, peace and love for Jesus Christ. These stories show the triumph of God's grace where the world finds only ugliness and approaching death. They describe some lives so recent that the saint's family members are still living today, with many causes for canonization being currently active in Rome. Included here are Bl. Zelie Martin, who died of breast cancer; 14-year-old Bl. Isidore Bakanja, the Scapular martyr from Africa; the famous leper priest, St. Damien of Molokai; Venerable Matthew Talbot, the alcoholic; St. Germaine Cousin, rejected because of a birth defect; and little Nennolina Meo, who died from cancer of the bone, lungs and brain. Also included are persons who suffered from paralysis, amputation, deformities, breathing problems, mental illnesses, kidney ailments, intestinal disorders, and more as well as from medical treatment itself. Particularly remarkable are the children who suffered, including young people ages 15, 13, 12, 11 and even 6 ! For these there was no grasping at the remnants of earthly life but rather an eager anticipation of Heaven. These children showed unwavering resolve to suffer for the love of God and the conversion of sinners and they endeavored to console their parents. SAINTS FOR THE SICK is a book that reinforces our Catholic faith and gives renewed hope to those who are dealing with bodily struggles. Moreover, it puts us in touch with heavenly intercessors who will gladly help us for they know exactly what we are going through on earth. Includes an Index of Ailments.
