This G. K. Chesterton quote poster features numerous quotes and witticisms from the writings of the "Apostle of Common Sense" to make you laugh, think, and reflect.

Chesterton's life and writings are the subject of intense modern scrutiny, and his public conversion to Catholicism later in life brought about some of most powerful and dynamic apologetic works the Catholic Church has seen in the modern era. Many of his books, such as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man are loved by Christians of all denominations.

G. K. Chesterton's cause for canonization is currently under investigation in his home Diocese of Northhampton. A prayer has been composed for the advancement of his cause, which is currently for private devotion only:

Prayer for the Intercession
of G.K. Chesterton

God Our Father, You filled the life of your servant Gilbert Keith Chesterton with a sense of wonder and joy, and gave him a faith which was the foundation of his ceaseless work, a charity towards all men, particularly his opponents, and a hope which sprang from his lifelong gratitude for the gift of human life.

May his innocence and his laughter, his constancy in fighting for the Christian faith in a world losing belief, his lifelong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his love for all men, especially for the poor, bring cheerfulness to those in despair, conviction and warmth to lukewarm believers and the knowledge of God to those without faith.

We beg you to grant the favors we ask through his intercession, [and especially for…] so that his holiness may be recognized by all and the Church may proclaim him Blessed. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
