From Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI)
Includes stories of more than 200 women saints. From mothers like Elizabeth of Hungary and prophetic saints like Hildegard of Bingen to mystics like Julian of Norwich, this treasury chronicles Catholicism's most beloved women saints from the early Church to modern times. (Publisher)
Imagine you could meet and greet a saint, which saint would you choose? This book offers a virtual encounter with 100+ saints from all around the world. Woman and men, carpenters and scholars, mothers and popes, princes and paupers: their inspiring life stories are linked to real life modern questions, and together with them answers are found.
There may have been as many holy women as holy men in the centuries since Christ walked in Galilee, but the number of those whose acts have been recorded and recognized by the Church is considerable less. This book redresses the balance, offering forty women of extraordinary variety. They are grouped under headings of visionaries, martyrs, collaborators, wives and mothers, penitents, outcasts, innovators and missionaries.
Features twenty-one saints who walked the earth in the twentieth century and were canonized in the twenty-first. Each chapter tells the story of one woman's radical gift and the world in which she lived. You'll also find stories of everyday women who are living these gifts in ways large and small today.
Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, in her most troubled and turbulent times, God has raised up great saints as beacons of hope in the midst of darkness. Among these great saints, the four women doctors of the Church stand out as models of courage, wisdom, and trust and are relevant to the challenges of our own day.
We have a large collection of books in the Library covering various Saints including (but not limited to):
St Francis, St Benedict, Hildegard of Bingen, Mary MacKillop, St Patrick, St Paul and Teresa of Avila
Please ask a Library staff member to help you find these books.
