it's an interesting book...about a guy who finds out he has a 'blessed' for a distant cousin, so in a way, it's about his journey and about the saint as well. there are definitely things I disagree w/the author about (takes some slams against the Catholic Church...not out of malice, I don't think, but out of ignorance), and sometimes the book can meander (needed a good editor, imo).

Hmm..interesting sounding. Sad that he takes some slams due to ignorance though, and the meandering would annoy me. x.x

yeah, it does get irritating, but at least about the saint it's good information.

[she_who_is_not]

I got St. Rose Phillipine Duchesne.

I was telling my friends about this at dinner and they would like a saint as well. Lee and Shannon are both protestants but excited to learn more about the saints. Would you draw saints for them Red?

Red - I would like a patron saint too. I think you probably know plenty about me over the years of posting, so I'll just be happy to get whichever one comes up!

St. Paul
[/quote]

Oh wow - thank you so much! I love St Paul, and yet originally (before I became a Catholic, or even a Christian), I hated him because from what I heard about him, I thought he hated women! lol Then I actually read what he wrote and was amazed.

God does work in mysterious ways.

You get stalked by saints of a specific flavor too? Mine are usually confessors/martyrs from the first few centuries of Christianity. Perpetua stalked me at my confirmation, and true to form the Holy Spirit picked Macrina the Elder for this year.
[/quote]

Yup I do! Its interesting how that works but mine are either connected to Spain or France so this years saint is keeping the pattern. I had St Francis de Sales a couple of years ago for example. At my confirmation I wasnt aware of being stalked by any saint in particular but years later I did find I had a stalker even then. Two or three years ago, years after confirmation, I found a book on my mom's bookshelf, pulled it out, flipped open the cover and there was my name! It was a series of forty short chapters of meditations and reflections by St Teresa of Avila. It had been given to me at confirmation but sat waiting until I was ready for it, ready for her. I was like aaawww
