Saints to Help the Sick and the Dying

Saints to Help the Sick and Dying, authored by Msgr. Edmund J. Goebel of the Convent of the Sorrowful Mother in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, offers practical, faith-centered guidance for the faithful, clergy, and religious communities in navigating illness and death. It draws extensively on wisdom from saints and bishops, the book addresses common spiritual struggles-such as the misconception that the sick are "outcasts" from God's love-and provides actionable steps to comfort the suffering, reconcile sinners, and foster hope. With a focus on tangible support over abstract theory, this concise resource aims to alleviate distress, strengthen resilience, and deepen trust in divine providence during life's most vulnerable moments. The work is dedicated to the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother, whose care for the sick inspired its creation. 129 pages. Author: Msgr. Edmund J. Goebel Year: 1937
