These saints have spoken to the hearts of millions. They’ve helped many on the way to understanding the role of God in their lives.

Also included are shorter portions by lesser known, more recent Carmelites: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), and Sr. Miriam of the Holy Spirit (Jessica Powers).
