New Release Update: Saint of the Day, 6th Revised Edition

St. Anthony Messenger Press announces the release of the new Sixth Revised Edition of Saint of the Day: Lives, Lessons & Feasts by Leonard Foley, O.F.M.; revised by St. Anthony Messenger magazine editor, Pat McCloskey, O.F.M. Fr. Foley wrote in the foreword to the original edition:

978-0-86716-887-7


"Most saints weren't private people concerned with 'saving their soul.' There were a few hermits, of course, but so many of them were out there in the front lines doing the Church's work, at times in spite of the Church itself. Because there were reformers, prophets, leaders, people who did what was right regardless of opposition, they were controversial. Some were even dismissed from their religious orders for being troublemakers."


A perennial best-seller, this new edition adds many new saints and saints-to-be such as Mother Teresa, Jeanne Jugan, Damien of Molokai, and more. Ligourian magazine said, "We highly recommend it." Modern Liturgy commented, "Combining short biographies and insightful reflections, this book offers a practical, inspirational assist when it comes to seeking, finding and receiving the friendship of the Lord in our everyday lives as the saints did."
