Lil Red

Recommended Posts

I'm part of a secular institute that was founded on his spirituality, and words can't quite convey the level of cool, and the sheer love. Your friend is blessed.

Red, would you mind drawing a saint for a friend of mine who is hoping to become a Catholic? He has always had some difficulty with the idea of saints' intercession in the past. This year he's open to the idea.

TAN books as a little book about her life. I know she was married, and a mother. Her husband was Protestant. (This was during the persecution of Catholics in England.) She was a martyr for her faith, and her children watched as she was pressed to death. She also hid priests and had a special place for them to come and say Mass. Her husband would pay her fines since she refused to attend Protestant services. I believe that her two sons became priests, and her daughter a nun. (I think?)

That's the one I chose for myself!!! I just learned about him and he is a very good patron saint. I randomly drew out St. Gabriel, the Archangel and Bl. John Paul. :)

I just ordered a used copy on Amazon. :) And since I wanted to hit free shipping I also pre-ordered the third Jesus of Nazareth, and picked up a Catholic libertarian book I have been meaning to get to.

he's really cool, he was a martyr for the faith, and his writings are very inspiring. :)

:) I did some very brief reading on him, and he sounded amazing. I'll definitely need to research him further.

Red, thanks to your idea, I'm doing this for my friends. My friend, Lilly, asked me to draw for her and she got two -- Bl. Margaret of Castello and St. Jane Frances de Chantal. I'm excited to see who everyone else gets. :)
