 The reason the stories of the saints are so important, the reason that they are the birthright of all Catholics is because saints inspire saints. Saints allow us to have some kind of a road map. They give us guidance. They give us real-world examples. You know, Christ promised to never leave us alone. You know, he promised that he would always be with us. And yes, the sacred scripture is a wonderful church tradition. The sacraments are really such a blessing to all of us. So are the stories of the saints. And they really should be passed on down to children. I think in recent years, I think Catholics have gotten a lot better about this. But in doing my research, I was fascinated to learn more about some of the saints that I had no idea about.
