Who##039;s your favorite saint?
We##039;re celebrating All Saint##039;s Day with our Booksellers!
This is from Richard Nootbaar from The Sycamore Tree Bookstore:
#quot;Happy All Saints Week to all of you who minister at Paraclete Press. It is so difficult to choose just one saint, but one of my favorites from the 20th century is Maximilian Kolbe. Offering to give his own life to save that of a husband and father at the hands of his Nazi captors modeled for us Christ##039;s words that no greater love is there than to lay down one##039;s life for a friend. He also was a great scholar, was devoted to Mary, and was always cheerfully obedient to the tasks assigned to him by The Church. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!#quot;
Peace and Grace,
Richard Nootbaar
