This review is from: New Saints and Blesseds of the Catholic Church (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful collection of stories about those who have recently been canonized.
The tales range from Joseph de Anchieta, born in 1534, who became an apostle to the natives of Brazil. He walked "'Barefoot, with his mission cross and rosary around his neck...lost in the depths of the widerness, encountered ferocious beasts...he carried on for one reason only: to win souls'" (p 29). Although most of the biographies are of people you are not likely to have read about before, there are also some names you are likely to be familiar with, such as Kateri Tekakwitha, who who became an example of true spirituality to the Mohawk nation, and St Maximilian Kolbe, who gave up his life in place of another man at Auschwitz. A good book to meditate with.
