Cloud of Witnesses: 25 Stories of Saintly Inspiration and Intercession

Marble statues, stained-glass windows, silver medals, laminated holy cards–the saints are memorialized in a myriad of ways. But the greatest way to remember our brothers and sisters in Christ who have been recognized by the Church for their heroic virtue?

Tell their story.

And not only tell their story as something in the past, but continuing in the present. In our present. Their lives are entwined with our own.

The saints are still alive, more real than ever.

The stories in this book are not just chronicles of historical figures from the past but friends very much involved in our present. Each writer shares about a particular saint and how that saint has shown up in their life in marvelous ways.

Read how:

St. Elizabeth of the Trinity was caught hiding in a retreat center

St. Thorlak helped an overwhelmed mother embrace the challenges of autism

St. Anthony led to the discovery of something far more valuable than what was lost

Mother Teresa inspired a couple’s adoption journey

Venerable Patrick Peyton’s intercession liberated a working mom to live out her primary vocation

…and much, much more.

Let this cloud of witnesses–both the writers and their heavenly friends–inspire you to keep running your own race and to remember that you are never–never–alone.
