My Cousin the Saint
Posted: 09 Dec 2008, 14:36
I am currently reading Justin Catanoso's book My Cousin the Saint. It's a book about a man living in the US that finds out his cousin has just been canonized.
In 2004, Catanoso’s brother passed away from an inoperable brain cancer. Two months later, Justin learned that Pope John Paul II, in the final weeks of his own life, had approved his grandfather’s late cousin, Padre Gaetano Catanoso, for sainthood. This news took Justin back to Italy where he was reunited with family he never knew he had. There, he met many people with stories of Padre Gaetano's miracles. He spent hours with Vatican saint makers in Rome learning the ancient and mystical process of Catholic veneration. He immersed himself in Italy's timeless traditions.
This book is really cool and has video that goes along with it.
