One year when I was in Rome, we were given a holy card with a saint to endear for a year. I remember getting St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. I just heard about a Saint Generator for getting a Saint for the year (or whatever time frame) Saint Generator HERE. I got St. Ambrose of Milan which made me laugh right out loud as we are going to Milan in February (business trip for my husband) and I was hoping to get a chance to visit the relics of St. Ambrose. Well.... better get right on studying his life.
The same woman who put this together also has a word generator. Word Generator HERE The first word Poppy and I got was simplify. Well, hello... wouldn't I love that. But then when I went to choose one it was "Visit". Hmmm... probably should spend more time visiting at the Adoration Chapel! :D and VISIT St. Ambrose in Milan! :D I think I'll think about the 2 words. Simplify has been a big word in my vocabulary lately. When you have an entire school from pre-k through college level and all the reading books in between we can get our hands on, not to mention, any number of other things a family of 14 needs (and too much we don't need)... well, simplify is a beautiful word!
And since we are a major Lord of the Rings Fans (can you tell from our blog names?) here is a LOTR's name generator HERE I am not just "Aragorn's Wife" but "Hilda Handyman of Westmarch". I think "Hilda" is short for "Hildegard" (of which I have a fascination for St. Hildegard of Bingen". :D
I digress.... silly me... but the saint generator is really neat and a great way to get to know a saint better (or at all!)
I got Saint Cosmas
