14 holy helpers

Human life is full of situations where we need help, support, comfort, or advice. The coronavirus pandemic has shown even 21st-century humans how vulnerable and helpless they are, both physically and mentally. During plague epidemics centuries ago, believers already turned to God for help, and to make their prayers more effective, they entrusted them to those who are particularly dear to Him. Fourteen saints were considered extraordinary helpers and intercessors at that time: George, Blaise, Erasmus, Pantaleon, Vitus, Christopher, Denis, Cyriacus, Acacius, Eustace, Giles, Catherine, Margaret, and Barbara.

These holy Christians and victims of cruel persecution accumulated treasures in heaven, and they joyfully bestow them on everyone who asks. The range of needs in which they can help us is vast, as the book 14 Holy Helpers shows. The first part introduces the story of each saint, while the second part offers novena prayers, meditations, litanies, and special prayers. Do not hesitate to turn to them not only in physical and material need, but draw above all from the spiritual wealth of their lives so that we may one day join them in the communion of saints.

The book is ecclesiastically approved.
