THE FOURTEEN HOLY HELPERS compiled by Fr. Bonaventure Hammer, O.F.M.

Description

In centuries past it was a common Catholic custom to invoke the spiritual assistance of 14 ancient Catholic Saints–mostly martyrs–for help in a host of personal problems: Throat ailments, headaches, storms, traveling, fire, family troubles, lightning, sudden death, etc. These 14 Saints became known as "The 14 Holy Helpers," and devotion to them was virtually universal. Among the 14 Holy Helpers are St. George, St. Blaise, St. Christopher, St. Denis, St. Margaret, etc. This book has a short, inspiring biography of each Saint, followed by the lessons to be learned from his life, plus the principal cares for which he is usually invoked. Devotions and prayers to each Saint complete the book. Paper.
