I'm so sad :( they never got back to me with a Saint :(  I guess I will choose Our Blessed Mother

as my Saint :)  

[Cathleen]

You have many wonderful "titles" to choose from with Our Lady!  :-)

Alley, did you check here?

Every one and his/her saint is suppose to be listed there.  This year, when I got the email, instead of telling me who my saint was, it told me to go there to find out who it was.

Alley, in case you really were "forgotten", maybe you can choose St. Therese, who only desired to be "forgotten" during her lifetime and counted as nothing.  ^_^  It was after her death that she desired to be more well-known so she could "spend her Heaven doing good on earth."

Just an idea!   ^_^

That admin on that other site may have been overwhelmed with requests so he inadvertently forgot you.

Not a bad idea Cathleen+  It would be an honor to have Little Therese :)

Edited to add St. Colette was also big on being forgotten.

Tim, I did check a few times, I spell my name differently than most.

Cathleen, D I think that is a wonderful idea!! :) St Therese is perfect TY both :)

No worries I thought that might be the case.

[Cathleen]

You can be our little Therese on this site, Alley, since DM is already our little fearless Joan of Arc!  ;-D

[Alley]

Laughing, sounds good to me :) TY

[Dawn Marie]

Fits like a hand in glove Alley ;)  a perfect match!

[Dawn Marie]

Now we have to call you little Alley :)

[Alley]

LOL if only that were true!!

[Cathleen]

Just wondering.......

how is this devotion going for everyone so far this year?

St. Paul inspired a prayer group in his honor to ask for conversions.  :-D

Personally I've been trying to remember to say St. Ephrem's penitential prayer this Lent, and really try to pay attention to the words.
