This selection of the aphoristic sayings from the writings and recorded works of the Catholic saints ranges over nearly two thousand years of ecclesiastical history. Ranging from the polished prose of St Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists, to the cry of the martyr on the scaffold, these quotations touch on a wide variety of themes such as joy, hope, faith, folly, and death.
`a rich and varied sampling of Christian concerns and interpretations over the centuries' Church History `a lively anthology with a rich antiphony of voices' Library Journal 'beautiful anthology ... A perfect starting point for personal prayer and meditation!' Spiritual Life 'a rich collection of brief selections from the writings and sayings of saints from the early Fathers to the saints of our own day.' America
