Humility of the Saints

In Humility of the Saints, Patrick O’Hearn explores the central role of humility in the lives of holy men and women, showing it as the foundation of every virtue and the path to sanctity. Drawing on the Litany of Humility, he examines the lives of fifty-five saints—including St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Carlo Acutis, and the Fatima children—demonstrating how they embraced humility for the love of God.

The book reveals that humility is a source of strength, not weakness, and offers practical guidance for living it in thought, word, and action. It highlights Christ’s Eucharistic Heart and Our Lady as models of humility, provides methods for overcoming pride and embracing hiddenness, and shows how suffering, ridicule, and temptation can cultivate holiness.

Through prayers, reflections, and the saints’ insights, O’Hearn presents humility as an antidote to pride and self-promotion, offering a timeless guide to authentic holiness that inspires, challenges, and consoles, reminding readers that to be humble is to be Christlike—and to be Christlike is to become a saint.
