From a very impressed Redemptorist!
How about a happy saint Gerard Majella? :)
Bro. Gerard CSsR
Dear Bro Gerard, thank you for your kind comments. I will keep St Gerard Majella in my list to do. He is a very inspiring saint! God bless!
ReplyDeleteThis just came to my attention through Gerry on facebook! Well done! Yes, I encourage you to do something on St. Gerard, and Blessed Francix Xavier Seelos and our other Redemptorist Saints and Blesseds. Send me your e-mail at GaryZ@cssr.com and I'll send you a sample of what a Redemptorist confrere sketched of St. Gerard to help give you a start. You can also read about our other saints and blesseds on our website: www.cssr.com

You should do Thomas More. He's the other patron saint of lawyers (Alphonsus Liguori is also the patron saint of theologians)
