Thatâd be cool, but, no. In fact, Iâm not married, so there goes the bride part too. Alas, Iâm also not a countess or a Teutonic Knight. But, I had a toothache the other day, and I was consistently falsely accused by my older siblings as I was growing up.
yeah- we recently switched from attending Little Flower (actually St. Therese, Little Flower - but thatâs too long to write) to St. Clare. I did NOT tell Noah that St. Clare is the patron saint of TV!!!
Thatâs a great site, ConorâŚI used to look at the âSaint of the Dayâ every day there when I was converting to Catholicism. Saints are one of the most interesting and appealing aspects of the religion to meâŚ
Anyway, I chose St. Monica for my patron saint, because one of my main religious influences was reading St. Augustineâs Confessions. As a teacher I need a lot of patience, so I hope that she will inspire me in thatâŚ
âAs late as 1822, offerings of gold and silver mice were left at her shrine in Cologne; mice represented souls in Purgatory, to whom she had a great devotion.â
But St. Gertrude of Nivelles was also supposed to be prayed to (Iâm not sure this is the right language to use for a saint) for getting rid of mice and rats and she is also the patron saint of cats. If mice represent the souls in Purgatory to whom she was devoted then you would think she would be the patron saint of mice instead of their enemy, the cat. So I donât know. But it is a lovely picture.
Itâs good you have a saint especially for lambs, Lamby! It looks like he got assigned a pretty heavy workload though, so youâd better not have too many problems!
