My Patron Saint will be Bernadette Soubirous. Why? Because
our lives were very similar with being desperately poor, and both
very sick as children and as an adult. I felt a deep respect for her
when I learned about her as an adult. My mother never had my younger sister and I confirmed. So, I will hopefully be
confirmed this year! ( finally ) My husband’s Patron Saint will
be Cornelius the Centurion. He was the first Bishop of
Ceaserea. The first gentile to be baptized. Since my husband loves military, and Roman history, that will be his choice. Mine is Bernadette as I toild you because of health, and being poor. Not just that, I think she is extraordinary, and so very very pious. I have a deep respect for her and what she went through with her ilness and her life. It is my hope that to someday, see her incorrupt body and to pray at the shrine in Lourdes. That is my goal. My older sister wants to go to Lourdes, and I only hope
that someday, I will have enough money to go with her! My
mom’s Patron Saint is Catherine of Sienna. My younger sister who is not confirmed I have no idea what her decision will be regarding a Patron Saint.
Good post!
