La fe vivificante de 30 santos nacidos en el continente americano se ilustra en un dialogo vivo y actual que los autores establecen con los santos y santas a quienes se honran como tales en la Iglesia, pueblo de Dios. A lo largo de estas paginas, el lector llega a ver y experimentar el santo como una persona que camina con el y que lo invita a seguir no su ejemplo, sino a Cristo, que es la motivacion ultima de la santidad. Mas alla de relatar la historia biografica--que tambien se incluye--los relatos contextualizan las cualidades de los santos y santas en el mundo de hoy de tal forma que la santidad se presenta como una posibilidad real para los cristianos de hoy. Este libro es ideal para aquellas personas que deseen comenzar o mejorar su relacion con estos cristianos de nuestros paises que han alcanzado la corona de la santidad y son una parte muy importante de nuestra familia espiritual. Las historias inspiradoras de estos modelos de vida son fundamentales para el desarrollo de la fe, especialmente entre los jovenes hispanos. El libro sugiere algunas preguntas para reflexionar, solos o en grupo, y una oracion a cada santo o santa. Disponible en ingles y espanol.
The strength and vigor of the Catholic Church are nowhere more visible than in North and South America, where hundreds of millions of people claim the Catholic faith. Saints of the Americas features thirty heroes of this New World faith, with representatives from fifteen countries in South America, Central America, North America, and the Caribbean. Through "conversations" between the authors and the saints, readers will be inspired by the stories of Catherine Drezel and Elizabeth Ann Seton, who built schools and hospitals in the United States; martyr Oscar Romero from El Salvador; Venezuelan physician and healer Jose Gregorio Hernandez; Peruvian Rose of Lima, the first saint of the Americas; and others. The faith and perseverance of these martyrs and monks, laypeople and clergy, mystics and activists will encourage people today to make a lasting difference in the world.
