Ranging over 2,000 years of Church history, this unique anthology brings together hundreds of aphoristic sayings from the writings and recorded words of saints both famous and obscure. From the literary polish of St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists, to the cry of the martyr on the scaffold, these quotations cover a huge array of themes--joy, death, faith, hope--and vary in tone from the intimacy of personal letters to the exhortative fervor of sermons preached to thousands.
