Our 8 year old daughter had been upset that neither of her names is a saint’s name. We’ve looked and haven’t found it listed anywhere.

When she was about 4 or 5 she loved St. Agnes. I told her she could pick a saint like St. Agnes whom she loved and admired to be her patron saint. At 8 she didn’t like the idea & just felt we had dealt her a bad hand.

Then one day we were watching an animated video on Blessed Mother Theresa. My daughter felt as if God was speaking to her when she found out the 3 following things:
  1. Blessed Mother Theresa’s birth name was Agnes
  2. She and my daughter share the same birth date
  3. Blessed Mother Theresa’s first church has the same name as
    our church
My daughter has now taken on St. Agnes and Blessed Mother Theresa as her patron saints.
 
Wonderful. She will have two heavy hitters prayer-wise working for her.

Remind her that the saints listed in the books are those officially recognized by Rome… I’m sure there are many saints with both her names that are saints… and i am sure that one day she will be surprised to see how many and who knows, maybe she will be the one to represent the rest… God Bless Her… and her family…
Peace… 👍
