For more than forty years, Saint of the Day has been a trusted guide, and this latest edition continues the tradition. Like his predecessors, Pope Francis continues to recognize and acclaim people from all walks of life. Newly added saints and blesseds include Oscar Romero, Marie of the Incarnation, François de Laval, Miriam Teresa Demjanovich, Stanley Rother, Pope Paul VI, and Solanus Casey.

Each month celebrates a Franciscan theme - such as peace, conversion, prayer, Mary, charity, and service to the poor. For each day, you will find a quote from Francis’ teachings, a suggestion for living as Francis did, and a challenge for growing in faith and practice.
