Were we to know the merit of only going from one street to another to serve a neighbor for the love of God, we should prize it more than Gold or Silver… One thing you may be sure of, that whilst you work for God, whether you succeed or not, he will amply reward you.

—Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice

quoted in the book, The Rock from Which You Were Hewn: The Lives and Legacy of Holy Irish Men and Women

MODERN HOLINESS

This book presents brief biographies of over 40 modern Irish men and women whose causes for canonization are in process, along with others who enjoy a strong reputation for sanctity. Written in response to Pope Benedict XVI’s call to the Irish to renew the Church in Ireland by drawing on the legacy of holiness offered by their ancestors, this book details the heroic lives of more recent saintly models to encourage contemporary Catholics to seek holiness in their lives.
