In "The School for Saints" -- a somewhat fantastic title -- there is one passage that is beautiful and exceedingly touching. I have seldom read anything more exquisite, more tender, or more true than the description of the lad Robert's first passion of love for the beautiful lady whom he imagined to be the incarnation of all the virtues and who was the star at a Parisian concert hall. All that is charming to the last degree, and I feel grateful to John Oliver Hobbes for having interpreted so truthfully and so pathetically the splendor and the anguish of the first boyish passion. "Everybody understands calf love," she makes Henriette remark, but if so, very few have ever done as much justice to the theme as she has done. If she understood other love as well as calf love, she might be the greatest among our women novelists. The story of " The School for Saints" is, in brief, the story of a high-born young man, half French, half English, nurtured on Amadis de Gaul and the Romances of Chivalry, who begins life as the companion of a crippled son of an ambassador, and after various adventures in English politics and in Carlist wars, finds himself in Parliament as a follower of Mr. Disraeli, and the husband of the daughter of the actress who first touched his boyish heart. The first great feature of the book are the interviews with Mr. Disraeli-very well managed on the whole, but too much sugar and too little devil in the old man to make the portrait lifelike. Perhaps in the next volume -for there is to be a sequel, covering ten years of the hero's life-we may see Dizzy more as he was in public and less as he was in private life. The second feature is the description of Prim and of Spain just before the Hohenzollern candidature plunged Europe into war. There is something about the scene where the heroine and the old Carlist Countess, her hostess, set fire to a mill in which they propose to burn themselves to death, and are rescued by the hero. But all that Carlist revolutionary business is very well done, and some of the descriptions are admirable. A novelist who succeeds in utilizing the real Disraeli and the real Prim as persons in her romance has done enough for glory. But John Oliver Hobbes has done more than this: she has created a Lady FitzReeves, who is a very real person indeed. It is interesting to find ladies of high degree so frankly making love to eligible suitors who do not return their affection. --The Review of Reviews, Vol. 16

Excerpt from The School for Saints The guests, who were mostly of ripe years, enjoyed the evening to excess, ate and drank with easy stomachs, and played cards till daybreak. They toasted the youth, and many brought him gifts; but he felt that he was feasting with jailers in a prison, and he had no thought in common with his blessing friends. This sense of alienation from those he wished to love produced a melancholy as profound as it was inevitable. On the morning after the festival, he went - although he was a Protestant - to the Altar of Our Lady in the Cathedral, and at her feet laid some hawthorn boughs which he had gathered from the hedges, far outside the town, in silent lanes. He said a prayer and wept because he carried such a burden of ingratitude on his soul. An abbe surprised him in tears, and asked him the cause. "I feel a stranger," said Robert, "and a fool!" "You must remember," said the abbe, kindly, "that you are a poet." He had read some of his verses. Then he passed on, for there was an old rich rascal waiting close at hand to make his confession. Robert left the church and walked out toward the ramparts. The massive gateway and encircling walls struck a chill to his passionate soul. Once more he climbed the stony fortress and saw the sights, heard the sounds which had formed so far his sentimental education. Deeper than any dogma, stronger than his artistic craving for beauty, was the Puritan instinct for health and neatness which belonged to his English blood.

The Complete Edition Prayer is essential to the life of faith. In this superb book, based on Pope Benedict's weekly teaching, he examines the foundational principles of the life of prayer. Believers of various backgrounds and experience in prayer-from beginners to spiritually advanced-will be enriched by this spiritual masterpiece. Benedict begins considering what we can learn from the examples of prayer found in a wide range of cultures and eras. Next, he turns to the Bible's teaching about prayer, beginning with Abraham and moving though Moses, the prophets, the Psalms to the example of Jesus. With Jesus Christ, Pope Benedict considers not only the Lord's teaching about prayer, but also his example of how to pray, including the Our Father, his prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane, and prayers on the Cross. The prayers of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the early Church are also explored. Benedict also draws on insights from spiritual masters, the saints, and the Church's liturgy. He challenges readers to live their relationships with God "even more intensely, as it were, at a ಘschool of prayer'." Although Benedict provides a sweeping survey of great figures of prayer, his discussion centers on Jesus Christ and even invokes him in the study of prayer. "It is in fact in Jesus," writes Benedict, "that man becomes able to approach God in the depth and intimacy of the relationship of fatherhood and sonship. Together with the first disciples, let us now turn with humble trust to the Teacher and ask him: ಘLord, teach us to pray' (Lk 11:1)."

Catholics have a special reverence for those canonized as saints by the pope. We believe they were holy people, and on their death they were with God. Catholics pray to saints for their intercession with God to grant special requests. The four saints whose lives are briefly described in this book share a very unique relationship. They are the only saints who lived and died as American or United States citizens.
