Patron Saints 2010

[sacredheartandbloodofjesus]

St. Stanislaus of Poland's Feast day is on my B-Day April 11th and his feast day in the Latin rite is the day I received all 4 sacraments.
St. faustina is from Poland too.

I got St. Charles Borromeo. I'll have to learn more about him.

[laetitia crucis]

St. Augustine!

God is too good to me.

[Thy Geekdom Come]

[she_who_is_not]

I got St. Gianna Molla. I was really surprised at first as I am an unmarried, childless woman. I have done some pro-life work but I never really formed a connection with St. Gianna. She didn't seem relevant to me. However, after doing research I feel a real connection to her. We both pursued advanced degrees, share a love of the arts and the outdoors. I read in one biography that though pious, Molla loved fashion, the symphony, and opera. I think we would have been good friends!
One aspect of St. Gianna's life that really resonated with me is that she did not marry until she was 33. As my friends marry and have children, I feel left behind. St. Gianna reminds me that all things will be accomplished in God's time. I think she is the perfect saint to me.

I suspect I'll be getting that...but not the copy that's selling on Amazon for $174.

I intend to read his biography, keep up prayer to him, read all his papal documents and comment on them on my blog.

yup, checked TAN's website, it's outta print.

usually amazon's used books aren't bad, but if you'd like to borrow mine, i'll send it to you.

btw, that sounds like an awesome plan

What an awesome idea!

You can do me, if you want. I'm female, 28, in the health care profession, and having a few unpleasant dealings with the people in Human Resources (their fault, not mine!) I'm not sure if the Lord will lead me out of the country, for holiday or work this year (I really wanna escape New Zealand, but I need the Lord's blessings to do it!)

I'd love to move to a place as beautiful as New Zealand, except that a priest classmate of mine from there told me the Church is really suffering.
