Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos

Alicia von Stamwitz and Rev. Carl Hoegerl, C.Ss.R.

All his life, Francis Seelos could best be described with three words: cheerful, gentle, and charitable. Best known for his compassionate healing ministry--one that continues to galvanize Catholics today. Father Seelos performed his daily priestly duties with the same kind of clemency.

In honor of his recent beatification by the Church, this pamphlet tells the story of this 19th-century Redemptorist priest, teacher, confessor, and counselor, demonstrating how his joyful and reassuring way with people displayed the love of God to all.
