From Scripture through today, women have always played a unique and critical role in Church history. In his weekly addresses, Pope Benedict expertly and thoughtfully explores the life stories of seventeen such holy women. From St. Hildegard of Bingen to St. Catherine of Siena to St. Therese of Lisieux, and many more in between, each one is a model of prayer, faith, and action who will help you gain a fuller understanding of Church history and enhance your own spirituality. Bring your faith to life with the lives of these exceptionally holy women as only the Holy Father can present them.
