Important life lessons that we can learn from the Saints: How true joy comes not from earthly status, but from following Christ like St. Francis of Assisi How God answers our prayers, but often in a way demanding our patience Like Mary Magadalene, how no one is beyond the power of the grace of God How we can worship God and grow in holiness through both work and prayer, sometimes combined How, through charity and prayer, impossible situations can be transformed and family members converted How Christians may be called upon to endure great sufferings - but if so, God will always sustain us
