The Rock from Which You Were Hewn

History & Biography

“Pope Benedict XVI said that the most powerful apology for the Church was to be found in her saints and in her artistic achievements. This collection of the lives of modern Irish men and women who lived their Catholic faith to a heroic degree is a much-needed antidote to the recent revelations of sinfulness in the Irish Church. It is high time for these remarkable women and men be given the recognition they deserve. We urgently need the inspiration of their lives of holiness, and even more their intercession, if we are to live up to our own exalted calling as Catholic Christians to become salt of the earth.”
