Saints are holy men and women, boys and
girls, that have led exemplary lives of virtue. They put God first in
every situation and are now living with Him in heaven. We are all called to be
saints and by learning about their ways and what they did to attain holiness,
we
too can learn to love God as they did. Finding good wholesome role models
in this wonderful cookbook helps families grow in holiness. Makes a wonderful gift!
"The family is the way of the Church". "In
this Letter to Families we wish both to profess and to proclaim this
way, which leads to the kingdom of heaven (cf. Mt 7:14) through conjugal
and family life. It is important that the 'communion of persons' in the
family should become a preparation for the 'communion of Saints'. This
is why the Church both believes and proclaims the love which 'endures
all things' (1 Cor 13:7); with Saint Paul she sees in it 'the greatest'
virtue of all (cf. 1 Cor 13:13). The Apostle puts no limits on anyone.
Everyone is called to love, including spouses and families. In the
Church everyone is called equally to perfect holiness (cf. Mt 5:48)." 14 Gratissimam Sane Letter to Families
from Pope John Paul II
