A Rare 1946 Original Catholic Devotional Booklet

Published in January 1946 by one of the most celebrated American Jesuit writers of the 20th century, Miniature Stories of the Saints: Book IV is a beautifully illustrated pocket devotional presenting one-page biographies of holy female saints and Catholic martyrs. From the unwavering faith of St. Agatha to the visions of St. Bernadette and the quiet humility of St. Zita, each story distils a lifetime of courage, compassion, and devotion into an accessible and deeply moving portrait.

Authored by Father Daniel A. Lord S.J. — a prolific Jesuit priest, playwright, and spiritual writer whose works shaped mid-century American Catholic culture — this booklet is both a timeless spiritual companion and a genuine piece of 1940s Catholic heritage.
