Overview
Spanning centuries and continents, this timeless chronicle of Christian sainthood details the lives of martyrs and virgins, scholars and soldiers, bishops and priests, and Christians of all sorts. Regarded as an enduring classic of spiritual devotion, offering prayer intercession from Heaven and guiding us by example, Butler's provides inspirational narratives, often accompanied by reflection and prayers. Organized by day, this book aligns with the calendar months, providing entries on saints whose feast days fall within those months. As both a spiritual tool and a repository of historical facts, Butler's captures the essence of saints' lives, miracles, martyrdom, and lasting influence. Its profound yet accessible prose is a journey through history, theology, and spirituality, guiding readers toward a deeper understanding of their own faith. Includes cross-indexing for easy reference and a new foreword by leading theologian and bestselling author Rev. James Martin, SJ.
