The Saints and the Call to Friendship + Adoration Journal Bundle

Saints Are Friends of Christ

The Saints and the Call to Friendship with Christ borrows St. Teresa of Avila's definition of Sainthood. A Saint is simply a friend of Christ. 

Product Description

Each friendship with Christ is totally unique, but Christ will make us saints through this friendship.

The Saints and the Call to Friendship with Christ features the stories of 101 different Saints, Blesseds, and Venerables from around the world and throughout the history of the Church. Each story focuses on one particular story of a feeling that this saint experienced. Through the story, it is clear that Christ used this feeling to call this person into friendship and make them a saint.

Saints Felt that Too

The Saints and the Call to Friendship with Christ grew out of one seed of truth: no matter what you are feeling or experiencing, a saint felt or experienced something similar, and Christ used that very thing to make them a saint.

We hope that children and adults alike can see their own stories in the stories of the saints. After all, Jesus calls each of us to friendship and holiness.
