The Calling and the Turn: God, the Saints, and Me — Volume I — A Daily Meditation with Fifty Catholic Saints

Meet fifty Catholic saints — one a day — at the place where one life turns by a single call and a single answer.Volume I of the seven-volume "God, the Saints, and Me" series gathers the saints of the Calling and the Turn: Peter casting his nets by the Sea of Galilee, Paul thrown to the ground on the road to Damascus, Matthew rising from his customs gate, Augustine in the garden hearing Tolle, lege, Francis of Assisi hearing "Rebuild my Church," Ignatius of Loyola surrendering at Manresa, Teresa of Ávila answering her interior castle, and Gaspar del Bufalo preaching the Precious Blood for an entire lifetime.Each chapter unfolds in the same elegant rhythm:— A first sentence that drops you into the saint's defining moment— A short biography focused on the one calling that shaped a life— A meditation that places you, the reader, in that same seat— A daily prayer that ends in five minutes of silenceThis is a daily companion designed to be opened one page at a time for fifty mornings — and re-opened, year after year. It is born from dailysaints.online, a thirty-year project introducing one saint each day (365 × 30 = 10,950 lives). Volume I is the first fifty of that long road.The series: God, the Saints, and Me — Vol. I The Calling and the Turn · Vol. II Through the Cross · Vol. III Holy in the Ordinary · Vol. IV–VII forthcoming 2027.
