Author Description

THE WRITINGS OF SAINTS and MARTYRS. Compiled herein are short daily readings from 2,000 years of the writings of the greatest Saints and Martyrs of the Catholic Church. This new volume represents a portion of the sacred teaching of the Catholic Church found in the Liturgy of the Hours, also known as “The Office.” It highlights every Biblical quote and provides its Citation, making it easy to seek and find – as Jesus promised – the scriptural foundations for the teachings of these greatest icons in the Catholic Church. Over 200 authors, and over 40 martyrs, taught, and even died for, the Truth of the Faith, the unchanged and unchangeable Truth. Included are writings from St. Augustine, St. Ambrose and St. Athansius, St. Robert Bellarmine, St. Benedict and St. Bonaventure. Also included are Doctors of the Church such as St. Catherine of Siena, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Therese of Lisieux.
