Become Good Friends with These Holy Women and Others Benedetta Bianchi PorroFriendship & Perseverance Jesus helps us flourish in the most unexpected environments and to the ways by which he helps us become who we are meant to be, which is often what we most desire. Love like a Saint, page 54 St. Josephine BakhitaFaith & Courage To act with courage, then, is to act in a way that affirms our identity. We join our courage to Christs when, even in small ways, we choose to lean into the Fathers fidelity. -Love like a Saint, page 115 Eve LavallireLove We all falter at love; we fall down where love is concerned. But I want to assure you, it is never too late to grow in this virtue, or rather to receive it and allow it to take deep and holy root in you. Love like a Saint, page 140 Read more Liz Shares . . . Why this book? It grew out of a twofold interest: to introduce you to some truly spectacular women in the Churcha few already recognized as saints, a few under consideration for sainthood, and a few who arent but are surely holy nonethelessand to offer a kind of living workbook on the virtues. Growth and mastery in the virtues is a long and exacting process, so I didnt feel the need to cover every possible virtue, just a few that are important in the lives of women today. Did you bond with one of the women? Blessed Benedetta and I have formed a real bondit's like she came and found me. She is going to be a really important saint for those who work in the medical field, single women, working women, and all those who suffer degenerative illnesses. It's like she's gathering up her army of evangelists on earth. I have so many miraculous Benedetta stories already, I'm starting to collect them. What do you want readers to know about the book? I love that each chapter offers prompts for praying for each virtue that is highlighted. Praying with God's word is one of the most important things we can do each day. It's truly living, active and transformative. If you don't believe me, try it! The women in these pages have become good friends to me. I feel like they have come and made themselves at home in my house! And my heart.
