Miracles of the Saints by Henryk Bejda

Who, having witnessed a miracle, can deny the power of God? 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. Discover inspiring accounts of miraculous intercession and saintly devotion, including St. Philomena's centuries of answered prayers, St. Anthony of Padua's conversion miracles, St. Conrad of Piacenza's miracle of the bread, and St. Mariam of Bethlehem's 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. 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. Perfect for deepening your Catholic faith and spiritual growth, this saint book provides instruction for how to hold fast to the Faith in a sinful world. An ideal Catholic gift for believers seeking inspiration, intercession, and connection to the communion of saints.
