Discover how real people lived the eight Beatitudes and witnessed to the power of the seven sacraments through these thirty inspirational stories of faith. This collection of stories, dramatically narrated by Sister Marie Paul Curley, FSP, and Sister Mary Lea Hill, FSP, brings the personalities and holiness of the saints to life in relatable, accessible, and inspiring ways that showcase the presence and power of God's grace. Each vignette is thoroughly-researched and highlights a particular aspect of the saint's life that brings the truths of the Faith to life: from moments of conversion, to missionary experiences, to profound encounters with Christ in the sacraments of the Church. These illuminating stories are supplemented with prayers, fact boxes, key biographical notes, lists of intriguing lesser-known facts, and powerful quotations from the writings of the saints. A "Reader's Guide" contains personal reflection and group discussion questions and ample references to the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, making this a unique and effective catechetical resource for OCIA (formerly RCIA) teachers and participants, adult faith formation groups, parish book clubs, and independent study.

Marie Paul Curley, FSP
Boston native and professed Daughter of St. Paul since 1987, Sr. Marie Paul Curley speaks regularly on Salt + Light Radio Hour. Her personal passions include writing, exploring the connection between faith and the media arts, the spirituality of Blessed James Alberione, and Eucharistic spirituality.
Mary Lea Hill, FSP
Sister Mary Lea Hill has been sharing her dry wit and offbeat wisdom with the Daughters of St. Paul since 1964. An experienced writer and editor, she has written a number of books including Prayer and You: Wit and Wisdom from a Crabby Mystic and Blest are the Stressed Secrets to a Happy Heart from the Crabby Mystic. Sister Lea currently carries out the Pauline mission in St. Louis, Missouri, and shares her signature humor with the rest of the world on Twitter @crabbymystic.
"I loved Saints Alive! A beautiful compendium of the amazing stories of the great heroes and heroines of our faith, combined with personal reflections and prayers (not to mention resources for group discussions and private meditation). It will serve a glorious introduction to those who have been raised to the 'glories of the altar.'"
James Martin, SJ, author of My Life with the Saints
"The saints show us that being a baptized Christian means living as a new creation, rejoicing in a life radically different from the status quo of the world. All the holy people, whose lives fill this book, show readers how to let the grace of God in the sacraments create their lives anew."
Stephen J. Binz, author of Threshold Bible Study, Lectio Divina Bible Study, and Conversing with God in Scripture
"Saints Alive! The Faith Proclaimed presents the lives of thirty-one holy people in an engaging format: the story. This elite group encompasses not only beloved familiar saints, but also recent ones and a few still on the way to canonization. For every beatitude and sacrament, two holy ones are offered as models. Each biography is followed by lists of interesting facts. A definite asset at the back of the book is "Reader's Guides," questions and resources for personal and group reflection. Reading this book is a pleasurable way to meet some of the people we hope to live with one day."
Mary Kathleen Glavich, SND, author of religious education materials, speaker, pastoral Associate at St. Dominic Parish, Cleveland, Ohio
"Take a trip around the world with Saints Alive! The Faith Proclaimed (and its companion, Saints Alive! The Gospel Witnessed). This book is not just a true representation of the universality of the Church, but also a practical guide to living our faith. I always tell kids that the saints are good role models, that they teach us about the faith, but often it's not easy to see how their lives are connected with specific tenets of the faith. These exciting stories of real people show that living the beatitudes and the sacraments is possible and that we too can be saints who proclaim our faith through our day-to-day living."
Deacon Pedro Guevara Mann, Producer, Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation
