St. Bartholomew
Feast of St. Bartholomew the Apostle
The Apostles of Christ are often portrayed carrying some deadly weapons. Put them together and they appear like a bunch of thugs... far from that, the weapons are actually the instruments of their martyrdom, very much like the cross used to crucify Jesus.
St. Bartholomew (Feast Day: August 24) was martyred by being flayed alive, which is why he is often depicted with the knife used to torture him. Sometimes he is depicted as a skinless person holding his, um, skin. Happy feast day!

Queenship of Mary
The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 22)
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen

St. Clare & the Eucharistic Miracle of Assisi
Happy Feast Day of St. Clare! Here's a story about her!
St. Clare & the Eucharistic Miracle of Assisi
1240 A.D... St. Clare's beloved town of Assisi was on the brink of an invasion by Saracen mercenaries. The invaders came towards the monastery at the edge of town, preparing to plunder it. St. Clare stood at the gates holding the Blessed Sacrament in the Monstrance. The invaders were struck by fear at the sight of the Eucharist and fled without delay!

2010 TO 2020: 10 YEARS OF HAPPY SAINTS
Dear Friends,
Today marks the 10th year since the Happy Saints project started. The first blog post appeared on August 7, 2010. Happy Saints began as a side project to create contemporary illustrations of Patron Saints that appeal to the digital generation. Since then, it has become a full-time endeavor and has generated over 300 Happy Saints, and a substantial catalog of educational resources used by churches, schools and homes everywhere.
I want to thank everyone for your support, prayers and patronage without which Happy Saints would not sustained for so long. I ask God to bless all of you and may His Light guide you through these turbulent times to emerge stronger in faith and hope.
As we move forward, I ask for your continued prayers and support to keep the Happy Saints going and inspire more young people to learn about the treasures of our Faith.
God bless everyone!

Prayer for Lebanon
Prayer for Lebanon
Our Lady of Lebanon, pray for the victims of the terrible explosions in Beirut, for their families; and for Lebanon so that through the dedication of all its social, political and religious elements, it might face this extremely tragic and painful moment and, with the help of the international community, overcome the grave crisis they are experiencing. Amen.*
*Prayer adapted from Pope Francis’ message during his General Audience on August 5, 2020

A Fridge Full of Saints!
Check out this collection of Happy Saints badges from Connie Viner! Connie has been a long time supporter of this project, and I believe she either gets the badges from the Happy Saints merch store, or make her own pins using the artworks from the Happy Saints ebooks. The whole collection is probably here, arranged in alphabetical order no doubt. There's even a corner at the top right to highlight the Saint of the Day!
Thank you for keeping the Happy Saints going, and may the Lord bless you, Connie ^_^
