Saints are a significant part of our heritage, revered figures of our Christian culture, according to Father Bill Bausch. Long before television, the cult of saints dominated the popular imagination; they were and are our Christian celebrities. He says that while modern celebrities point to and celebrate themselves, the saints point to or wrestle with "something more" beyond appearances, "some one more." They are mirrors to another reality. Whatever their history, at least once in their lives, saints heroically leap beyond their pride, self-absorption, and even the instincts of self preservation into a fullness of sacrifice, generosity, and love that takes our breath away. Bausch covers 50 of these saints here in this beautifully written anthology. No library descriptions found. |
