Aloysius Roche (b. 1886) was a parish priest in Essex, England, where he was known for his great knowledge of the lives of the saints, his wise sermons, and his simple, holy lifestyle. In these pages, Fr. Roche shows you the saints not so much from a new angle as from a less familiar one. Without diluting the intensity and holiness of the saints, he tries to bring them near, to bring them home, to bring them to your very bedside. Some of the Chapter titles are: 'Joy of the Saints', 'Common Sense of the Saints', 'Wit and Humor of the Saints', 'Friendship of the Saints', 'Peace of the Saints'. (This is one of the Sisters’ favorite books about the Saints!)
