Memoirs Saints

While St. Francis of Assisi is one of the most beloved saints in history, the relevancy of St. Francis for our times in light of the election of Pope Francis has yet to be explored. This book is written with the intention of filling that gap. While it is biographical in nature, it also freely explores themes that relate to St. Francis but are not a part of his life.

St. Therese of Lisieux (1873 - 1897) is one of the most popular saints in modern times. What makes her life so outstanding and such an inspiration to so many people? She had no sustained spiritual visions, unlike St. Bernadette of Soubirous before her or the three children of Fátima after her. She had no stigmata, was not a martyr, was not a teacher during her lifetime, and did not start a religious order.

This story, written and read by the author, strings together retellings of a few of the expatriate Irishman's most memorable Saint Patrick's days here in the USA. In his cordial brogue, Alphie relates the history of the Catholic feast day, and moves candidly, with great warmth and self-deprecation, onward through the past few decades to relate his personal, hilarious highlights of the day when everyone loves to become Irish in the wearing o’ the green.

From childhood to his deathbed, this story follows the decisions of Francis at various stages of his remarkable life. From an audience with the Pope to an audience with a sultan, Francis was always grounded in a remarkable message.

Iedereen die ooit naar de Efteling is geweest, kent de "Danse Macabre". Deeltjes uit "Le carnaval des animaux" doen het goed in reclamespots. Weinig mensen weten dat die muziek uit de pen vloeide van Camille Saint-Saëns. In zijn veelbewogen leven van 1835 tot 1921 componeerde hij een gigantisch oeuvre in elk denkbaar genre, tot filmmuziek aan toe. Een briljant man die ook karikaturen tekende, toneelstukken en gedichten schreef en publiceerde over archeologie, astronomie, botanie en filosofie. Thijs Bonger vertelt het levensverhaal van dit fenomeen.

Le habían dado la espalda, y desapareció misteriosamente en el punto más alto de su carrera, pero ahora está de regreso y se ha ganado los corazones de todos con su increíble historia.

Francis of Assisi has inspired the church for centuries. Francis took the gospel literally, following all that Jesus said and did without limit, and his devotion led to a life filled with miracles and wonders. Born to a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, Italy, Francis didn’t seem destined for the life of prayer and poverty that he chose. Bankrolled by his father, and with natural good looks and personality, Francis indulged in worldly pleasure. He had a ready wit, sang merrily, and delighted in fine clothes and showy display.

Saint Peter, also known as Peter the Apostle, was one of the main figures of the early Christian Church. He began his life as a simple fisherman who caught fish in the Sea of Galilea, but one day, this fisherman became a “fisher of men” instead. In good time, he would help to form one of the largest religious movements the world had ever known, eventually giving his life to the cause when he was sentenced to death by crucifixion. Here, in this audiobook, we discover the life of Saint Peter from beginning to end.

While all of us are capable of holiness, canonization is the Church’s official recognition that a particular person displayed an extraordinary degree of holiness, or devotion to God, during his or her time on Earth.

Un jour, sur le chemin, Martin de Tours rencontra un pauvre et partagea avec lui son manteau d'officier. Martin est l'un des saints les plus populaires de France. Mais son existence demeure obscure pour beaucoup. Elle ne se résume trop souvent qu'à cet acte sublime de charité. Or saint Martin eut une influence considérable sur nos origines chrétiennes.

I was privileged and blessed to work with Mother Teresa for ten years. She became my mentor and my 'Spiritual Mother. My story shows how she led me on a remarkable journey. I saw her deep love of God in the way she cared for the poorest of the poor. By writing this book, I wish everyone to see the beauty of this saintly woman, and how she lived her life. She saw Jesus in everyone and she was Jesus to everyone. She was selfless and humble, giving of herself totally to God. Share the laughter, the tears, the smiles and the love.
