Favorite Saint — Page 2

Joseph. I was named after him. However Bernadette is a close second.

Sumofallthings many, many years ago my mother had eye surgery in St. Clare's Hospital. I'll never forget the statue of St. Clare holding a plate with eyeballs with retinas streaming from them.

Ah...my catholic school girl days.. flasbacks when Daddy used to have a staute of St. Christopher, patron saint of travel on the dashboard, until he was "de-sainted" years later. Not sure, but I heard a St. Pauli Girl was involved in his demise. His driving was never the same since then.

Another flasback...passing by that statue of St. Francis of Assisi, in Our Lady of Mouth Carmel Court Yard, with his arms outstretched and the winged creatures sitting upon his shoulders and in his holy hands, cooing peacfully....till I looked up and a flippin' mocking bird pooped right on me head. That guy had to be a saint to be plastered in bird poop!

Were you ever told that a prayer to St. Anthony would help you find something you had lost? My mother always said that to us and I swear it always worked for me!

St. Anthony is supposed to be for something that is lost. In more dire needs however people like to talk to St. Jude, for 'hopeless' causes.

Saint Joseph Cuppertino - Patron Saint of Tests!!!
