Items related to The Patience of a Saint: How Faith Can Sustain You...
The authors of The Rollercoaster Years, Parenting 911, and Cliques offer parents guidance, inspiration, and comfort by showing them how to pray to the saints for their children.
The Patience of a Saint explains how to connect with the saints through various activities, including novenas, Bible reading, and pilgrimages, and how to call on their support and understanding in times of crisis. Focusing on the qualities that enabled these ordinary men and women to face extraordinary challenges and tragedies: knowledge, faith, hope, charity, patience, serenity, truth, and humility, Giannetti and Sagarese draw parallels between the real-life struggles parents face today and those endured by the saints. They shed light on how these virtues can strengthen resolve, temper anger, restore energy, and teach parents how to communicate with their children openly and honestly. The stories of the saints bring parents the solace and the wisdom they need to take the leap of faith that will turn their lives, and their children’s futures, around.
