The transgressive writing of Georges Bataille (1897-1962) and the rigorous ethical philosophy of social activist and Christian mystic Simone Weil (1909-1943) seem to belong to different worlds. Yet in the political ferment of 1930s Paris, Bataille and Weil were intellectual adversaries who exerted a powerful fascination on each other. Saints of the Impossible provides the first in-depth comparison of Bataille's and Weil's thought, showing how an exploration of their relationship reveals new facets of the achievements of two of the twentieth century's leading intellectual figures and raises far-reaching questions about literary practice, politics, and religion.

One of the most popular Saints in the Church for centuries, St. Rita is known as the \"Saint of the Impossible\" because of her amazing answers to prayers, as well as the remarkable events of her own life. Desirous of being a nun, she instead obeyed her parents and married. Her husband was cruel, and caused her much suffering, to which she responded with love and prayers and eventually converted him. After the death of her husband and two sons, Rita was able to enter a convent, where she devoted herself to prayer and penance. She abandoned herself totally to God, diminishing herself as He increased in her. An inspiring story of a soul completely resigned to God\'s will. 132 pgs, PB

The Church is a faithful custodian of the “Lives of the Saints,” of those books which contain the wonderful and glorious deeds of her children who have lived and died in the odor of sanctity. And she looks on every “Life of a Saint” as a guidebook pointing out the way to Heaven to all Christians, who are only travelers on the way to their true home. After the Bible and the Catechism there is no book more precious in the eyes of Mother Church than a “Life of a Saint.” It is the dearest wish of Mother Church that her children should frequently read the lives of the Saints; by so doing they gradually become acquainted with a select society to which, in a great measure, they will be forced to raise the standard of their daily lives. Our Holy Father St. Augustine is a striking example of what the reading of the lives of the Saints may do. A friend of his, Alipius by name, gave him the life of St. Anthony the Abbot. Augustine read it, and was so extremely affected by what he read that it was one main cause of his conversion. Looking down the long calendar of saints, glancing carefully over the Church’s long honor list of men and women whose names were held in veneration in their days, we find no name crowned with a greater halo of glory and honor than that of St. Rita, the humble Augustinian nun of Cascia, now venerated under the singular title of the Saint of the Impossible. It is more than 450 years since St. Rita departed this life to be united forever to her Lord and spouse Jesus Christ, and yet her name is still held in benediction, not only among the faithful of Italy, her native country, but also among the faithful of the rest of Europe, who vie with the people of South and North America in honoring and venerating our illustrious Saint. Among the many magnificent “Lives of St. Rita” written by the Italian and Spanish Augustinians, we prefer that written by our brother religious, Father Joseph Sicardo. As his book has had a large propaganda in Spain, the Philippine Islands and in Spanish America, we have hopes that the same book, garbed in an English dress, will help to keep alive that fire of devotion which now burns in the hearts of so many clients of St. Rita in North America. That our translation of Father Sicardo’s Life of St. Rita may have the result of further increasing not only the veneration, but also the number, of the clients of our sister, St. Rita, is our only wish and ambition.

Escaping the constraints of life as a village schoolmistress, Lilia Brooke bursts into London and into Paul Harris’s orderly life, shattering his belief that women are gentle creatures who need protection. Lilia wants to change women’s lives by advocating for the vote, free unions, and contraception. Paul, an Anglican priest, has a big ambition of his own: to become the youngest dean of St. John’s Cathedral. Lilia doesn’t believe in God, but she’s attracted to Paul’s intellect, ethics, and dazzling smile.As Paul is increasingly driven to rise in the church, Lilia finds her calling in the militant Women’s Social and Political Union. They can’t deny their attraction, but they know they don’t belong in each other’s worlds. Lilia would rather destroy property and serve time in prison than see her spirit destroyed and imprisoned by marriage to a clergyman, while Paul wants nothing more than to settle down and keep Lilia out of harm’s way. Paul and Lilia must reach their breaking points before they can decide whether their love is worth fighting for.

Always bold, always provocative, Michele Roberts turns now to the forbidden pleasures and pains of the love between father and daughter and unfolds before us the life and death of Saint Josephine. Holy woman or whore? Upholder of pious or pagan delights? Lowly nun or powerful miracle worker? Or both? And woven throughout her story are the heady and sometimes fearful tales of other female saints - one-armed mad girls, beauties locked in towers, seductive daughters - all women who didn't know their place. Rich with fabulous imagery, IMPOSSIBLE SAINTS is as potent and disturbing as its dangerous themes. 'Her fictions are high-risk, unconventional, often apparently unstable; yet are steered with such authority that the otherwise cautious reader is taken almost without realising it into dangerous and exhilarating territory ... She is a writer dedicated to challenging the boundaries by which the idle and unthinking might try to circumscribe her' Rachel Cusk, Sunday Express 'Hugely entertaining and genuinely thought-provoking' Julia Flynn, Sunday Telegraph

Amongst the Saints· of the Church whose memory is enshrined in the hearts of many Saint Rita stands supreme. It would be difficult to explain why so many love her with the devotion that is hers. No organized propaganda, no immense resources, no strong publications, no effort concentrated simply to that end; and yet I dare say there is no Saint in the history of the Church who has been so long thoroughly forgotten and so splendidly remembered once her name was emblazoned on the catalogue of the Saints. She died in 1457 and was canonized only in 1900. During the years that have gone one might say that she was forgotten. It is true that a few loyal hearts, either because of religious profession in the Augustinian Order or because of their nearness to her country and to her home, did remember her. But how few they were! But since her canonization the name of Rita has been a name to conjure with. It has spread through the four quartets of the globe and is as well known in South America as it is in China, in Chicago as it is in Rome, in San Francisco as it is in New York. Nor is devotion to her limited only to young men and young women, to cloistered nuns or to the mothers of families. There seems to be no state in which one may not find adherents of the cause of Rita. Perhaps it is that she can claim the title of "The Saint of the Commonplace," and that her life, passed as it was hidden from the eyes of men in the modest home in Roccaporena and in the cloister of the Augustinian nuns at Cascia, worked out so perfectly the problems which we, ordinary mortals in an ordinary life, must deal with and solve. She left no record in books, she founded no splendid monastery, she was not the head of a Religious Order, nor even of the convent in which she lived and died. She worked no miracles of universal renown during her lifetime, nor was it granted her to be the counsellor or the ambassador of prelate or pope. She did not shed her blood in defense of the Faith or in the preservation of her virginity. She does not stand forth as the mother of great sons, nor was she a queen in her own country. But the recompense that God in His goodness deigned to give unto the measure of her life - nothing less than the miraculous preservation of her body in the convent in Cascia - has drawn attention to the fact that that life, commonplace, drab and darkened by deep sorrow and by the affliction that almost every human heart may know, was filled with a measure of goodness far beyond the average. Perhaps it is for this reason that Saint Rita is loved; because she had fulfilled the great purpose of noble living, of simple desires and of intense realization of God's working in men's hearts. We have ventured therefore to bring before the reader a new tale with a very old theme. The inspiration of these lines is contained rather in the recent volume of Father Marabottini in Italian than in any other of the lives of St. Rita in Spanish, Italian or English which have been consulted. We hope that the reading of our little work may hearten those who know St. Rita, who have invoked her and have not invoked in vain, to love her more fervently and to call upon her more earnestly. We hope, too, that those who do not know her may be brought by means of these simple pages to know and to love the Saint whom a people's faith has named "The Saint of the Impossible."

The lives of the saints are a great source of inspiration and reassurance for us. The holy women in Saintly Moms can help us better to understand motherhood as a vocation, just like any other calling from God, and a path to holiness. Whether you're a new mom, a grandmother, or somewhere in between, this book will encourage all mothers in their vocation as they identify themselves in the lives of these saints, who also experienced the joys and challenges of being a mom. Their stories will also be inspiring to young women exploring the vocation of motherhood and anyone with an interest in saints who were mothers. Each chapter profiles a different holy mother, reflects on a lesson learned in her life, and ends with a prayer through her intercession. While we grow in admiration and devotion to them, these Saintly Moms can help us see the saintly possibilities each one of us possesses. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kelly Ann Guest is a youth minister, contributing blogger at CatholicMom.com, and contributing author for The Catholic Mom's Prayer Companion.
