Holy in the Ordinary: God, the Saints, and Me — Volume III — A Daily Meditation with Fifty Catholic Saints

Holy in the Ordinary — God, the Saints, and Me, Volume III — A Daily Meditation with Fifty Catholic SaintsA daily Catholic devotional walking with fifty saints who lived holiness in the most ordinary places — at the bedside of the sick, at the washing trough, within a family, in a parish, in a quiet room of prayer.Volume III of the seven-volume series God, the Saints, and Me gathers fifty companions whose holiness was not on the great stage but in the texture of ordinary days: St. John the Evangelist, St. Joseph the worker, Sts. Anne and Joachim, St. Martha and St. Lazarus of Bethany, St. Benedict of Nursia, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Frances of Rome, St. Rita of Cascia, St. Francis de Sales, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, St. John Vianney (the Curé of Ars), St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. John Henry Newman, St. John Bosco, St. Bernadette Soubirous, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, St. Josephine Bakhita, St. Damien of Molokai, St. Padre Pio, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, St. Maria Goretti, Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, St. Gianna Beretta Molla, and St. Carlo Acutis — fifty quiet lamps across two thousand years.Each day opens with one saint: a short Scripture passage to anchor the day; a meditation on the saint's life, hidden faithfulness, and small acts of love; a practical question for living holiness today; and a short prayer asking the saint's companionship.The reading rhythm is gentle — about ten minutes a day. Read in order, or open at any feast day. Designed for the home, the parish, the catechumenate, RCIA, prayer groups, and individual reading.This is Volume III of seven planned volumes — 350 lives in all. The first three volumes (I–III) together carry the first 150 saints: Vol. I The Calling and the Turn (the apostles, the Fathers, the great founders); Vol. II Through the Cross (martyrs and witnesses); Vol. III Holy in the Ordinary (the hidden saints, mothers and fathers, the sick and the poor — this volume).A book that pairs each life with your own. A book in which the life of one person calls out the life of another.Catholic devotional · daily readings · 50 saints · ordinary holiness · family · communion of saints · suitable for parish, RCIA, family, and personal prayer.By Tae Ho Guak.
