Fourteen Holy Helpers / Fr Bonaventure Hammer

 

In centuries past it was a common Catholic custom to invoke the spiritual assistance of 14 ancient Catholic Saints - mostly martyrs - for help in a host of personal problems from throat ailments to sudden death. These Saints became known as the 14 Holy Helpers and devotion to them was virtually universal in the Church. Here is a work to inspire everyone to invoke these Saints in order to obtain many favors from Heaven and to link the present age with the earliest centuries of the Church.
