Confirmation Saint Name Help

[VintageMisha]

I seem to be a bit stuck.

I am confirming this Easter into the Church and I am beyond excited. I’ve been looking for a Saint Name for a while now, but I can’t seem to find one that I connect with.

I’ve been wanting to pick someone who I really feel connected to. I am a recovered Drug Addict (5+ years now!!) and a very dedicated mother of two. I have a strong and wonderful marriage and everyday I feel more and more connected to God. I feel it was my past darkness that made me strong. I have such faith in God’s ability.

Would anyone have an idea of an appropriate Saint? Ideas or suggestions?

Thank you for your time!

Misha

The Saint that always comes to mind is St. Maria Goretti. It’s an amazing story, even if it does not relate to your particular situation. My grandmother taught me about her as a child and I never forgot her. She’s about forgiveness.

Some ideas.

You could take the name of your sponsor or godparent – provided that it is a Christian one.

Rather than picking a saint who reflects who you are right now, select a saint who represents who you would like to be. Of course, we all want to be in heaven – but what I mean is find a saint who had qualities during his or her earthly life that you wish to emulate.

Also don’t think that you have to pick a female saint if you are female. You could pick a male saint and use the female version of that saint’s name. So if you picked St Paul, you would use Paula.

Also, I’d read a book about the saints. Perhaps your library has something?
