Embarking from the simple yet life-altering observation that saints are those who seek in all things to conform themselves to the will of God, Delany refutes any prevailing notions that Christian sanctity is properly reserved to individuals vowed to celibacy. Through nineteen succinct biographies, \u003cem\u003eMarried Saints\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive overview of the unbroken thread of seemingly ordinary lives made extraordinary by the embrace of faith, hope, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian marriage is the union before God of two souls who wish, by the grace of the sacrament to perfect one another, to love one another, and to give children to the Church and saints to heaven. –\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSelden P.
