Saints were regular people just like us! They had challenges and made mistakes, but they always trusted God and tried their best to do His will. For example, St. Francis of Assisi cared for the poor and animals, showing kindness to everyone. St. Therese of Lisieux taught us to do small things with great love. Each saint has a unique story that inspires us to grow in faith.
One of the most important things about saints is that they pray for us. Even though they are in heaven, they are part of God's family and want to help us. We can ask them to pray for us just like we would ask a friend or family member.
The saints remind us that holiness isn't just for priests or nuns--it's for everyone! By learning about their lives, we see how to be patient, brave, forgiving, and generous.
Catholic saints are like our spiritual heroes and role models. They teach us how to love God and others, helping us on our journey to heaven. With their example and prayers, we can grow closer to Jesus every day! Saints included in this edition are:
