This packed a lot of info into a small book! It goes through the saints alphabetically, giving a brief synopsis of each one's life. At the end, it includes a large list of other saints (I'm a bit confused about these, perhaps most of them are not "official"?) and tells what folks pray to them for.

I am Protestant so did not grow up with all these saints. It was interesting to think how different it might be to be brought up hearing about all the torture and death surrounding a lot of them. It was also interesting to me to learn that some of them had "sinful" or unsavory lives before becoming saint-like. I had thought one had to be 100% saintly!

The list at the back really gets humorous after a while. It reminds me of a pantheon of gods who should solve all your problems. And I suppose that's because I am Protestant and do not have anyone between God/Jesus and me.

An interesting and enlightening read!

> VIE DE SAINT FRANÇOIS D'ASSISE, de Omer Englebert. — Être joyeux dans l’adversité la plus extrême, laisser venir à soi tous les événements sans se dérober, même les coups, les mauvais traitements, telle est la voie que se propose Saint François, mystique chrétien du début du treizième siècle. L’abbé Omet Englebert relate, grâce aux témoignages de l’époque, la gestion des débuts, des conflits ou des pièges, toujours à la lumière de l’Amour, jusqu’en territoire sarrasin où toutes ruses déjouées, le sultan fit reconduire le saint homme avec de grands égards : « Ne m’oublie pas dans tes prières.. . » Il faut aimer les récits historiques, et souhaiter une information sur l’approche dévotionnelle. Ed. Albin Michel, 1998 - 373 p.
