Greetings this new day...

There's times when my writing takes me to a place where I conjure pensive thoughts. I love to write of the spiritual, things that make you think so you will find  a lot of that here. Ever hear of Patron saints? Yes, they do exist, even if in our own psyche. I prefer to think they are real.

Patron saints are  chosen as special protectors or guardians over various areas of our life. Early data shows that people were named after apostles and martyrs as  early as the fourth century.

Popes have named Patron saints but patrons can be chosen by other individuals as well. Patron saints are often chosen because of an interest, talent, or event in their lives.

For example, Francis of Assisi loved  nature and so he is patron of ecologists. Francis de Sales was a scribe so he became  patron of journalists and writers, one of my favorites, of course.

Angels can also be named as patron saints as well. A Patron saint can help us when we follow the example of that saint's life and when we look for that saint's intercessory path to God.

Come back soon to see what I will add to what I call Saints, angels and sinners, oh my!

~ peace
