This is a great book. St Philomena seems to be a saint who is particularly close to God, and you'll understand why once you read about the circumstances of her death and the the incredible success which people have had when asking for this saint's intercession. I'm glad to see that devotion to this saint has been increasing in recent years, after having slacked off somewhat just after Vatican II.

This is a shame, for contrary to the flood of MIS-information currently...
