20+C+M+B+12~New Patron Saints!

We followed the star,
And blessed our home...

Patron Saints will follow us where we roam.

Gifts were given to the Newborn King...

Thank you God, for everything.

I can't tell you how excited I am about my personal Patron Saint for this year...St. Margaret Clitherow. I am already inspired by a new saint that I have never known, yet I feel like I already know her!  I will be writing more about her soon.  After using the Saint Generator, we taped these Patron Saint images on all of our bedroom doors...
I also put in my request with Allison, over at Totus Tuus to select a Patron Saint for this blog.  I am excited to find out who that may be!?

St. Jude is our family Patron Saint for the year...
He's tacked up over our home prayer table to remind us!
St. Jude, please pray for us.
Our prayer table cloth is changed to green and back to Ordinary Time we go...but only for a "time"...Lent will be here in a jiffy!

  7. So much fun to find a saint that you haven't heard of before. I love St. Jude. One of my favorites and we are waiting to hear back from Allison as well. Great Epiphany feast day and you will be sure to find abundant blessings and grace in your house with all of those saints! (Love the idea of taping them to bedroom doors!)

  12. How exciting! When I did the saint generator, I too was given St. Margaret Clitherow! There is a media company in Great Britain that has made movies about the saints of her time ~ the 40 Martyrs of England & Wales who were killed as part of the Protestant purging of Catholics. My sister has ordered the one on St. Margaret Clitherow as a birthday gift to me. I should be getting it soon and can't wait to learn more about her.
