They describe some lives so recent that the saint s family members are still living today, with many causes for canonization being currently active in Rome.Saints for the Sick is a book that reinforces our Catholic faith and gives renewed hope to those who are dealing with bodily struggles. Moreover, it puts us in touch with heavenly intercessors who will gladly help us for they know exactly what we are going through on earth.
