Purchase options and add-ons

This important book is about a particularly rich harvest, saints with disabilities, God's wild flowers. St Thérèse of Lisieux speaks of God's living garden made of a great variety of flowers. People with disabilities are often on the margins and some find it hard to find their place in a Church that is often seen as emphasizing perfection. This book tells the stories of 141 saints and blessed, some well known and some less well known. All of them had disabilities or long term conditions ranging from cancer, physical disability to mental frailty, depression and learning difficulties. None of them were cured, and none of them were declared saints in spite of their disabilities. Given the number of people who are sick or have disabilities, it should come as no surprise that many are counted among the saints.

    What an inspiring book! If someone with disabilities can become a saint, that gives hope to the rest of us. I'm waiting for this author to write a children's book. I think it would give hope to children with disabilities that they can live meaningful lives and can achieve great things.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just essential litterature!
    Reviewed in France on October 7, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Pia Matthews has written an essential book for all priests, educators and teachers and for anyone involved with disability within the Church. The book details the life of hundreds of saints who lived with disabilities or disabling illnesses or experienced disabling conditions. Each chapter has a theological introduction, illustrated with magisterial texts (very often by pope Saint John Paul II), showing that the teachings of the Church with regards to disability are far more positive and enhancing than one might think.

    A well researched and interesting book on Saints with Disabilities. Helpful prologues to each chapter precede the short and fascinating descriptions of the lives of these Saints. Easy to read although a good knowledge of Catholic terminology is useful. The author introduces the book with a moving and personal account of life with her disabled daughter, and her compassion and caring nature is evident in her writing.
