In 2023 the Ministry Development Committee produced our first Little Book of Saints, stories of people whose lives have influenced the Christian journey of people from across the Diocese of Ballarat. This booklet was an encouragement to many and several people asked for more. Here is our second book. Below is the introduction from our first one., which is just as relevant today as it was then.

Hebrews 12.1 reminds us that we are accompanied on our Christian journey by “… a great cloud of witnesses.” We do not know anything about the majority of those who make up this great cloud, but it is comforting to know that they have followed Jesus and experienced many similar things to us. But as well as this great unknown cloud, each of us have been inspired by special people (or Saints of God) that we have met, or know about. Many of these are ordinary people, who would be shocked to be included in a book of saints – our teachers, our priests our friends. Others are well known people of God, who lived heroic lives, sometimes dying for their faith, or creating great writing or other works of art. This little book of saints has been put together by people from across the Diocese of Ballarat who have written about people who inspire them. We hope that these saints will encourage you on your Lenten journey.
