- Book Synopsis
- Over the centuries, the rich diversity and relevance of the saints has been whitewashed, their images portrayed as expressionless, and the lessons of their lives watered down. But artist, writer, and modern iconographer Gracie Morbitzer is painting the truth. The Modern Saints is a celebration of the divergence of ethnicities, ages, abilities, and practices of spiritual pilgrims who transformed the world, and an invitation to connect with historical icons whose lives have astonishing and inspiring relevance for our present-day. Each entry of this striking collection features a contemporary image of the saint, a re-imagining of the space they might hold in society today, and an inspiring prayer to honour each figure. Readers will appreciate each contribution from our current generation's spiritual thought leaders that illuminate the impact and wisdom each historical saint offers us today, including: Fr. James Martin's reflections on the flexibility of St. Ignatius of Loyola Tsh Oxenreider's unique appreciation for the endurance of St. Monica Maggie Philpot's inspiration from the strength of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Dr. Christena Cleveland's praise for the resilience of St. Catherine of Alexandria With its unique portraits and compelling narrative, this 52-week collection is perfect for devotional reading as it will move, encourage, and strengthen each reader as they find solidarity and profound belonging within the great host of saints.
