Virtues of the Irish Saints: Lessons in Faith, Peace & Love explores the lives of ten remarkable figures from Ireland’s sacred past, each remembered for a defining virtue that continues to inspire today. From Patrick’s courage in returning to the land of his captivity, to Brigid’s generosity in serving the poor, Columba’s journey of peace that took him to establish Iona, and Oliver Plunkett’s reconciliation in the face of martyrdom, their stories reveal a spirituality that is deeply rooted, practical, and inspirational.

Author Gary McLoughlin weaves history, legend, and personal reflection to bring these saints vividly to life, showing how ancient Celtic Christianity embraced community, creation, and prayer. With warmth and clarity, he demonstrates how virtues such as empathy, contemplation, and love can guide modern readers through life’s challenges.

This book is both an introduction to Ireland’s spiritual heritage and a source of encouragement for anyone seeking courage, peace, and joy in their own journey.
