Father Hoever's book includes all the Saints who appear in the official post-Vatican II liturgical calendar for the Universal Church and for the Unites States.

"The authentic cult of the Saints consists not so much in the multiplying of external acts, but rather in the greater intensity of our love, whereby, for our own greater good and that of that whole Church, we seek from the Saints 'example in their way of life, fellowship in their communion, and aid by their intercession.'"
