Isaac Hecker for Every Day: Daily Thoughts from the Founder of the Paulists
One of the great American-Catholic apologists and certainly one of the most prolific, Fr. Hecker forged an seminal U.S.-Catholic identity that came to its fullest realization in the founding of the Missionary Society of Saint Paul the Apostle (the Paulist Fathers). Relying on the light of Christ and the lightning of Saint Paul s conversion experience, Isaac Hecker appears here as ultimately human yet inspired, and certainly worthy of the title Saint, which will soon be his when he is raised to the altars of the Catholic Church.
