In the Gospel of Matthew, Our Lord presents the following teaching:
And from the days of John the Baptist until now,
the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent bear it away.
The great Doctor of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas explains that this passage can be understood to indicate that sinful man, upon hearing the words of Eternal Wisdom, is stirred toward the Kingdom of Heaven with a certain hastiness. Like a robber, he steals into Heaven, with a certain “violence” and a great struggle, rising up against his fallen nature and toward spiritual realities. Through this great struggle, he can confidently arrive at the Kingdom of Heaven.
Our Lord presents the truth that the Kingdom of Heaven is taken by those willing to do the difficult work necessary to enter therein.
In this book, pivoting from the examples of the great Saints, the reader will learn, through their powerful witness,
- what must be the foundation for our vision of the Christian life
- the vision which will inspire all to truly love God with their whole heart, with their whole soul, and with their whole mind
- what could be called the “spiritual program of the Saints”
The Saints and the Sources of Holiness presents eleven critical actions and perspectives which will ensure that we do not end up doing the minimum in this pilgrimage to eternity, remaining oblivious to the true power within Christ’s call to holiness, and thereby missing our opportunity to rise to the highest ranks among the Blessed in Heaven.
This book will inspire Christians to take up all the means at their disposal in order to obey all the calls and commands of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that they may “bring forth very much fruit, and become [His] disciples,” (John 15:8) and, by doing so, fully leave the world behind to become some of the greatest Saints ever to walk the earth.
