beatitude Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ^ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 [quote name='Lil Red' timestamp='1352217005' post='2505143'] St. Margaret Clitherow [/quote] Thank you. I do not know anything about her yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1352222260' post='2505176'] Thank you. I do not know anything about her yet. [/quote] 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?)

OnlySunshine Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
