Ce "livre vivant" est un des premiers de la Sainte. Il n'a pas reçu de titre comme tel, en effet, les bibliothécaires de l'Escorial lui en donnèrent un qui nous a été transmis jusqu'à ce jour. De toutes ses œuvres, "La Vida" est la plus longue et Sainte Thérèse se présente à nous comme écrivain. Il s'agit d'un écrit profond, saisissant, d'une révélation authentique de son âme, au point qu'elle-même l'appelle ainsi : mon âme ("Lettre à Luisa de la Cerda", 23 juin 1568, 3 ; V 16, 6 ; V épilogue, 4). Sainte Thérèse a fait dans ce livre un effort systématique - le premier dans l'histoire de la pensée et de la littérature - pour déverser en ces pages la totalité de sa personne, en sorte que les critiques littéraires le considèrent comme le livre le plus personnel de toute la littérature espagnole.

I Fioretti, opera in lingua volgare della fine del '300, probabilmente di un anonimo autore toscano, sono una raccolta di 53 episodi della vita di san Francesco e dei suoi compagni, nei quali viene tracciata la vita e la leggenda del santo. Si tratta dell'opera più famosa su San Francesco d'Assisi, dove sono riportati episodi celeberrimi, come: la "perfetta letizia" e "Il lupo di Gubbio". Nei Fioretti viene ricostruito lo spirito della predicazione francescana, fondata sui valori universali dell'umiltà, della carità, della povertà.

The Life and Martyrdom of St. Peter and St. Paul offers one of the most compelling and lesser-known accounts of the Church’s apostolic foundations.

The Little Flowers of St. Francis is a classic collection of popular legends about the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Composed at the end of the 14th century by an unknown author, this manuscript is a version of the Latin Actus beati Francisci et sociorum eius, which can be dated to 1390 AD. Most scholars are now agreed that the author was Ugolino Brunforte (1262-1348). The text was the inspiration for Roberto Rossellini’s 1950 film Francesco, giullare di Dio (Francis, God’s Jester), which was co-written by Federico Fellini.

Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas, probably the greatest teacher the Church has ever known, was asked by his assistant Brother Reginald to write a simple summary of the faith of the Catholic Church for those who lacked the time or the stamina to tackle his massive Summa Theologica. In response, the great saint quickly set down in language that non-scholars can understand his peerless insights into the major topics of theology: the Trinity, Divine Providence, the Incarnation of Christ, the Last Judgment, and much more.

Del padre Pío a Carlo Acutis, pasando por nombres imprescindibles, estas vidas demuestran que los santos también son imperfectos. Antes de ser venerados, muchos santos fueron cuestionados. ¿Qué hubo detrás de la fama, los milagros y las devociones? ¿Qué significa realmente ser santo?
