lives of the saints

During mass today in order to control my number 1 child's behaviour I decided to start reading a book of saints. Now I realise that I should be sitting dutifully during mass listening to the wonderful sermon but with a hearing impairment (even though i have hearing aids) sometimes the priest can be difficult to hear. Mrs Bean has taken the book of saints off the bookshelf in our pathetic attempts to control number 1's behaviour, this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Therefore, there i was sitting there reading a book of saints and a few of these saints i was reading about have jumped out at me. Before i rattle off those names, I have decided to share some of my personal favourites. One I will start with is saint Robert,this was the saint i chose for my confirmation which is a catholic sacrement that we all have to go through. Robert was a simple man who lived in a monestry, he was friends with a hermit and they would often discuss heavenly mysteries. I still to this day remember sitting in that window with Father Casey bearing over me doing what an irish priest does best telling me it was time to make my decision. The other saints that i like is saint theresa of lisieux, she was a carmelite nun. The other thing that means alot to me is our lady of mt carmel. Getting back to our original topic which was the book i was reading our number 1 child the saint that jumped out at me was saint louise de marillac, saint joachim, saint boniface, saint helen, saint nicholas, saint john nepomucene and finally saint lucy. if you want to know more goggle.
