Saints and Sinners
SKU: 978-1950970490
Product Details
By Charles Péguy
Saints and Sinnners is a meditation on the relationship between God and man. In Péguy’s poetic presentation, God the Father speaks: “All are not saints, such is my Christendom. There are sinners too, there have to be some, it is thus.” Yet the ordinary orientation of God towards all people, saints and sinners alike, is one of love. This volume speaks powerfully to that enduring reality, with evocative prose reflections on the movement of man at work, play, and study, a series of striking individual portraits, and poetry selections from Péguy’s Mysteries.
The second volume of translations by Julian Green of Péguy into English (published as Men and Saints in 1943), Saints and Sinners captures what Green sees as Péguy’s greatest gift as a man and poet: “to speak intelligibly to all people, and to help them.”
The disregard of sinners for saints and despite this the salvation of sinners by saints, this is the whole of Christian history. (Charles Péguy)
Charles Péguy (1873–1914) was an acclaimed French poet, essayist, publisher, and editor of the magazine Les Cahiers de la Quinzaine. A staunch patriot and socialist, he converted to Roman Catholicism and his writings are imbued with the Catholic imaginative spirit. He died in the service of his beloved France on the eve of the Battle of the Marne.

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
