Saints at Heart presents an engaging picture of the spiritual life as shown in the experience and writings of the saints. The title announces the book’s double theme: the lives of holy men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, and to the possibility of our following them and also dedicating our hearts to God. Readers will discover in this book well-told and appealing stories of women and men, ordinary human beings like themselves, who knew God and whose lives as a consequence radiated light, love, and joy. Each story presents the core message of a saint’s life and highlights an important spiritual path that readers will be encouraged to follow.

Live out your Catholic Faith with meaning and intentionality everyday. When doing something over and over again, it can be easy to lose the meaning behind our actions and simply go through the motions. For instance, the Mass—which is an incredible encounter with the Lord where he becomes bread and wine in front of our eyes—can become familiar and, at times, boring to us. Thankfully, we have a Church that reminds us of the purpose and meaning behind each action of our Faith, and these actions allow Catholics to grow in a deeper relationship with the Lord through their small everyday tasks. Fr. Mike Schmitz’s Growing Through the Motions: Living Your Faith with Intention shows Catholics how to seek meaningful connection with God in everything they do, including the Liturgy. This new addition to The Sunday Homilies with Fr. Mike Schmitz Collection takes the homilies from Fr. Mike’s recent series and transforms them into an easy-to-read and easy-to-digest booklet. In 4 short chapters, this booklet shows readers how to: Embrace and find meaning in the obligations of their Faith Understand the ‘why’ behind the motions of the Mass Strengthen their Faith in their daily lives Find purpose in the spiritual practices they participate in And more! Complete with thought-provoking questions, prayerful meditations, and real-life challenges after each chapter, this booklet is perfect for individual devotion or group study.

"Life, in the end, has only one tragedy: not to have been a saint." – Léon Bloy The ever-popular and prolific Peter Kreeft says that the most important question he has written about is how one becomes holy; or to put it another way, how one becomes a saint. This question is central to all the great religions, Kreeft demonstrates, for striving toward holiness, moving toward perfect love, is the whole purpose of life. Kreeft admits that he is only a beginner on the climb to holiness, and it is to novices like him that he has written this engaging and encouraging book. Using the insights and experiences of saints and great spiritual writers throughout history, Kreeft shows what holiness is and how it can be achieved. He especially draws upon the spiritual classic Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J. The core of Caussade's timeless gem is that God reveals himself to all of us through the daily events of our lives. The surest way toward spiritual growth, therefore, is by perceiving and accepting the merciful will of God in every situation. Kreeft stresses the simplicity of his approach to holiness, which focuses mainly on the virtue of love. Sanctity is love, he asserts, and only that can give us what we all long for—deep and lasting joy.
