Saint Spotlight: Thomas More and John Fisher

Today, June 22nd the Catholic Church honors two saints: Thomas More and John Fisher.

These friends lived in England in the late 15th and early 16th century.

One was a well-known layman and politician, the other a well-known priest and bishop.

100th Post

Dear Readers,

This is my blog’s 100th post!

To celebrate this special occasion, I want to honor someone very important to me; someone who guides me in every way and makes this blog possible.

I dedicate this post to: Our Lady.

Two years ago, I was introduced to a saint in an unexpected way.

This modern-day saint has a rich and inspirational story.

Today, March 19th is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

Since St. Joseph was the earthly spouse of Mary, the earthly father of Jesus and the head of the Holy Family, he is of great importance.

He’s also important to my family.

The saints are one of the most beautiful aspects of the Catholic Faith.

We connect to different saints for different reasons.

One saint I’m particularly drawn to is: Bernadette Soubirous.

One day, my friend and I were trying to find out who helped St. Jerome translate the scriptures into Latin…

I stumbled across this information while searching for a saint to write about, not while searching for an answer to our question!

Soon after this discovery, I found images of these saints in my friend’s photos.

Because there are so many connections, it seems this information was revealed for a purpose.

I believe that I’m meant to write about these saints.

This Saint Spotlight is dedicated to: Paula and Eustochium.

My godmother recently gave me a book called The True Saint Nicholas written by William J. Bennett

Inspired by the book, and using information from it, I dedicate this post to Saint Nicholas of Myra.
