"May the Lord grant us all the hope of being saints."

Pope Francis recently shared this prayer with the world. We can all become saints. We just have to open our hearts and let God help us.

This book introduces a saint for each day of the year-ordinary people who made the choice to love Jesus and give their lives to him. These stories, prayers, and suggestions for becoming holy are designed with our needs and our lives in mind. But this is not your ordinary "Book of Saints." Each day's reflection is designed to inspire and challenge you to become who God intends for you to become. We can do this. But we need the help of the saints!
