Devotion to a Saint

[elizabeth211]

I was wondering if there is something official that you have to do to devote yourself to a saint. I often hear people say they have a devotion to a specific saint. I would like to do this with a specific saint, as well, but is there something that I have to do or do I just often ask for their intercession?

No, you dot have to do anything special. It just means that people feel really close to a saint. I have a devotions to St. Dymphna. She is the patron saint of gentle illness. I want to get her chalet. I also pray to St. Lucy, the patron saint of eyes sine I have low vision. Just find prayers, litanies, novellas etc. On a particular saint.

I am devoted to St. Gemma. I suffer from debilitating chronic pain (GWS). It’s not always apparent to you in an earlier point in life which saint will truly guide you across the finish line. But when it does happen, you will know. You will become devoted just by following in that saint’s footsteps.

God makes saints out of lots of different kinds of people in different walks of life in order to serve as guides for all. There is a saint out there to guide every person, and more each new generation.
