Partners in Holiness is a poignant book telling us little-known stories about saints and how their angels guided them. It is a powerful reminder of how our Guardian Angels are ever-present, helping us in times of trouble.
We can’t see these friends, and usually forget their presence. The book opened my eyes to realize that I am never truly alone, and there is someone who likely hears the crazy things I brainstorm–the complaining, the sleep-deprived confusion, even the prayer I don’t feel is heard.
Ryther’s writing style is solid, and the book is accessible. Aside from the beautiful stories told–stories about many saints, including Rose of Lima and Gemma Galgani–facts are included, and towards the end, prayers are offered to strengthen friendship with one’s Guardian Angel. The book is comforting and makes this devotion very real, something powerful and overlooked, but from which we would all benefit.
If you’re looking for a short read, or just something to help strengthen your faith, read Partners in Holiness! I’m glad I did, not only because the writing is beautiful, but because the message resonates.
