This awe-inspiring compendium of testimonies of the miraculous reinforces the role of supernatural grace in the life of the Church. The stories demonstrate how miracles prove the omnipotence of God, who speaks through His saints to heal and convert souls.

Miracles of the Saints is a colorful treasury that includes stories of well-known saints as well as new intercessors in the Church Triumphant.

Illustrated with holy images and photographs of their homelands, this collection brings to life the reality of these saints' lives and works, from ancient times to present-day canonizations by Pope Francis.

Readers will discover:

• All that can be known about St. Philomena's mysterious life and origins, and how her intercession has brought about miracles for centuries
• How St. Anthony of Padua converted a Cathar heretic by commanding a mule to venerate the Blessed Sacrament
• St. Conrad of Piacenza's "miracle of the bread," which fed the hungry during the great famine of Sicily
• How St. Mariam of Bethlehem, who grew up in the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land, miraculously overcame numerous obstacles to her vocation and received the stigmata

Each featured saint points to the power that comes not from themselves but from God, who provides these gifts to bring souls closer to Him. These saints humbly remind us that sainthood and the supernatural events associated with it ultimately consist of daily death to self and embodiment of the Gospel.

The saints profiled in this book provide instruction for how to hold fast to the Faith in a sinful world. Their miracles -- both during their lifetimes and after their deaths -- testify to the level of holiness they attained and prompt us to meditate on the Beatific Vision they now enjoy due to the choices they made in life.

Whether through increased devotion to a patron saint or discovery of a new friend in Heaven, these stories will inspire and encourage you to grow in heroic virtue.
