An assistant chaplain at our parish once told us, “We become like those we love and associate with, and reading the lives of the saints makes them our companions in a way, keeps our point of view supernatural, and gives us high ideals. Otherwise the world slowly but surely drags us down.” The Pictorial Lives of the Saints – With Reflections for Every Day of the Year is an excellent tool in following this advice of reading about the saints and learning to emulate their lives. For every day of the year you will find an edifiying black and white image along with short biography and reflection for the day.

The Pictorial Lives of the Saints was widely approved and recommended by bishops all over North America when it was originally published in 1887.

• “This very interesting work cannot fail to do good to all who shall read it. I not only approve of it, but would beg every English-reading Catholic family of my diocese to buy a copy.” – J. Thomas Duhamel, Archbishop of Ottawa, March 12th, 1887
• “Your Pictorial Lives of the Saints, to which you have asked my attention, has been already commended by me as desired…one of the most edifying and instructive publications.” – T. Mullen, Bishop of Erie, NY, March 5th 1887
• “Whenever it gains admittance into a family it will do much good. No book is so well adapted for spiritual reading of people in the world as the Lives of the Saints.” – Henry Joseph Richter, Bishop of Grand Rapids, MI March 8th, 1887
• “I would feel very happy if this excellent family book would be found in every household of my diocese.” – Fred X. Katzer, Bishop of Green Bay, WI, March 9th 1887
